Buhari is a general and I am totally in support of how he has played the game so far - Zara Onyinye

Political Analyst, Zara Onyinye took to her verified Facebook page to shares his opinion on the ENDSARS movement.





Buhari is a general, and I am totally in support of how he has played the game so far. He granted the wish of the protesters and the whole world is witness to this, then he allowed them continue their "peaceful protest". Buhari knows his people very well and understands that some elements are trying to find an excuse to call him a tyrant.


If you know Nigerians all too well, you will understand that if you give them time they will start using the protest as a means to an end. Funny enough, protesters are blaming hoodlums for the destruction of property, looting and damage to the economy, but how do we know the difference between hoodlums and protesters? Do protesters wear uniforms? Are they registered with the CAC and have headquarters and offices they can be reached? Do they have identity cards? Because someone must be held responsible and blaming so called "hoodlums" is nowhere close to anything that exonerates protesters from these crimes.

A Senegalese reporter came under fire for calling the "protest" exactly what it is, AIMLESS. She like the rest of the world have been watching and don't understand exactly what the protesters want anymore.






Yeah! I get it. You want to say that SARS was disbanded before and nothing happened, well I got news for you. Nigerians don't still understand that only their state governors can set up legal bodies of enquiries where victims will submit their cases, evidence, identify faulting officers then later hand them over to the court. Which brings me to the final point, unadulterated ignorance.

Yes, people have no idea how the system functions and don't care to find out, hence they end up holding the wrong arm of government responsible. Finally, the problem is not with the police in the real sense, it is with the people. We are already hearing complains on the streets that 11 million Naira used to buy water by organisers is shady, someone collected millions and claims he collected 500,000 meant for protesters. These are the same people protesting corruption.
