2023: Reason #EndSARS Protesters Should Vote Tinubu – Yahaya Bello

The Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello has said that youths who participated in the EndSARS protest would be doing the right thing if they vote the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming 2023 presidential election.

Naija News reports that the 2020 EndSARS protests against police brutality were a series of demonstrations across the country that lasted days before it was hijacked by hoodlums.

The protests also resulted in the disbandment of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Yahaya argued that participating in the electoral process is better and effective than street protest.

The Kogi governor, who was recently appointed as the national youth coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima presidential campaign council, said he got his position based on his performance in Kogi state.

Yahaya revealed that he has plans to sensitize and educate the youths that the right way to go would be to vote his principal into power.

He insisted that if Tinubu takes over the presidency in 2023 he will address the issues the youths are not pleased with.

He said, “First point where the #EndSARS protesters should have vented their anger was to participate politically, in the selection of who becomes candidates in the various political parties. That is number one.

“Street protests and agitations are completely different from voting during election and electoral process. You will recall that I’m the first governor who identified with the #EndSARS.

“Three times, I addressed the #EndSARS protesters at that time and they listened to me, especially those who reared their heads in Kogi state as at that time.

“Even after the #EndSARS protest, I had the opportunity of meeting with some of the #EndSARS leaders and I told them exactly where they got it wrong.

“I am equally going to tell, sensitise and educate them about where they are headed or how they will get it wrong if they don’t follow the right way, and the right way is to vote senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who will come and display his prowess in solving the problems we are being confronted with.”
