“In my\u00a0 search for peace, I met with a group of youths embedded in the EndSARS protests across the nation. The group was made up of youth leaders from all parts of the country comprising leaders from the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Areewa , Ohanaeze, Afenifere, Hausa, Fulani, Middle belt and Niger Delta Youths, under the banner of Coalition of Ethnic Nationality Youth Leaders of Nigeria. My gospel to them was the same: You have made your point and the relevant authorities have not only heard but are also taking necessary actions.\u00a0 End the protests and allow the government to address your demands”.he submitted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
