Our Youth and the Unfolding National Crisis: Need for Urgent Intervention By Concerned Nigerians

We are responsible and patriotic Nigerians who have watched with serious concern the unfolding crisis threatening to engulf our nation. This has followed the recent protests by Nigerian youth across the country, against widespread police brutality, endemic corruption, and bad governance. We are non-partisan actors who believe in the union of our people through the maintenance of democratic order founded on the rule of law.

There are widespread allegations and some available evidence would appear to support this, that agents of government or other affiliated political actors sought to break the legitimate protests by the youth through sponsoring or promoting thugs to attack the protestors and damage properties which were then attributed to the youth protestors.

On Tuesday 20th October 2020, the nation was rudely shocked by what appears to be a premeditated violent crackdown on the protestors thereby significantly escalating the volatile situation. Earlier on that day, the Lagos State Government had declared a 24-hour curfew which would take effect from 4 pm. According to 3 reports, as the deadline was not practical, the state government extended the time for compliance to 9 pm.

1. We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to take immediate urgent steps to address the widening trust deficit between the Government and the President on the one hand, and the Nigerian youth and its people on the other. To move forward, the President must take decisive action to close the trust deficit by:

c. Take immediate remedial action as spelt out in the youth Charter of Demands including the immediate release of all arrested protestors, justice and compensation for the families of victims, and an independent body to oversee the prosecution of guilty officers. f. Announce urgent steps to address perennial insecurity and killings in the country particularly in the North-East and North-West. g. Finally, develop a clear workplan for the implementation of the governance reform programmes for which well-meaning Nigerians have been demanding.

Conversation with the Nigerian YouthConversation with the Youth. Protests have occurred across the country few saw this coming except with the aid of hindsight. 'The President and his government care for the people.' Which President? Where is Buhari? We want a live press conference with him. Trying to fix things yet you lie to us. Your lying machine ' Laid Mohammed' has ran out of lies. This fight is to the finish. Better resign now We will continue pray for our beloved country for peace, unity and progress. We Youth in the northeast we will not engaged in riot, protest of any kind. We are crying out of peace we will not do something that the insurgents and bandits will take advantage.
