Ooni of Ife Begs #Endsars Protesters to Cancel All Protests

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Monday, appealed to the EndSARS protesters across the country to end all protests.

Ooni described the #EndSARS protests as a clear message by the Nigerian youth to the government, particularly on the coordinated manner in which the protests were being organised, both in Nigeria and beyond.

He urged the youths to give the government the chance to fully attend to their demands.

He said “If you look at the #EndSARS protest, you will see that our youths have what it takes to rule the country.

“Since day one, they have shown leadership, accountability and huge sense of responsibility which have sent a clear message to the government.

“Every day at 11:50 pm, they displayed their financial update, and to me, I’m highly amazed with their sense of accountability.

“As a youth leader myself, I am proud that we all have communicated our ideas and it is heartwarming that we have been heard.

“Dear youths, it is time to retreat so as to prevent those with ulterior motives from hijacking the peaceful message of peace.

“The whole world is aware of our peaceful conduct and we must not let some bad elements tarnish this enviable integrity.
“Once again, I wish to urge our youths to stop the protest, for now and give peace a chance. This will prevent government from using force,” the royal father said.
