Stay Clear From #ENDSARS Protest - Chief Eholor Warns Nnamdi Kanu, Says President Buhari’s Speech Is Uninspiring

By The9jaTrend

Global President of One Love Foundation, Chief Patrick Osagie Eholor has condemned violence, looting and destruction of properties across Nigeria due to the unrest caused by the #ENDSARS protest, describing the situation as unfortunate and regrettable.

Eholor, while chatting with The9jaTrend, said he also observed with dismay the hijacking of the protest by irresponsible and divisive elements like the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu whose utterances and unguided vituperation led to vandalization of properties, thuggery and looting of both government and private properties in disguise of protest across Nigeria.

“The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu cannot come in disguise to hijack the genuine #ENDSARS protest. We will not allow him to do that. People fought for one Nigeria.

"We will  remain one Nigeria, our problem is not about tribe or ethnicity, either is it about bad leadership. Now the people have finally wake up to say they want their right because their right is their life. That’s what we should focus on not on Nnamdi Kanu. 

"For me, I don’t take him serious. If you’re a serious person who wants to agitate for your people you should be here for the struggle just like as I am here for the struggle, that’s what they call a patriot and a democrat. Kanu is just a rabble-rouser.

“It’s most imperative to note that, I supports in all sincerity the betterment of Nigeria especially with governance as agitated for by the youths, but it is quite unfortunate that unscrupulous elements including those outside the country are making inciting and divisive statements, thereby hijacking the process to unleash mayhem and anarchy by creating unnecessary pandemonium.

"Following the unfortunate event of the Leeki shootings on unarmed #ENDSARS protesters which was condemned by all including myself, as I share in the plights and grievances of the youths especially those that lost their lives, but it’s inhumane and barbaric to destroy properties of individuals and government as witnessed across the country.

“The youths should embrace dialogue or continue protesting in a peaceful and civil manner like I did at the US Embassy. Destruction of properties won’t give us the needed results.”

In a related development, the Global President of One Love Foundation, Chief Patrick Osagie Eholor said the speech of President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday was boring, uninspiring and unpresidential.

“At a time like this, I expected the President to act like a father by bringing the youths to a round table. As usual, it was uninspiring an boring. Lives were lost due to the Lekki shootings and the President failed to say a word on it," he concluded.
