ENDSARS: Atiku backs protesters, sends message to Buhari
Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, has thrown his weight behind the anti-Special Robbery Squad, SARS, protest in Nigeria.
He urged the Nigerian government to create an enabling environment for youths to protest.
Atiku, a former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, in a series of tweets, said a new policy that would enthrone the interest of Nigerians should be considered by the government.
Atiku tweeted: “Nigerians should be provided with a non-toxic environment for #EndSARSProtests. It is their constitutional right and an ingredient of democracy.
“They deserve to be heard and not killed or maimed.
“I stand with you all as you peacefully protest to #EndPoliceBrutality and enthrone a new policing order that underscores interest of the citizens.”
