The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Rt. Hon Ahmed Idris Wase, has again appealed to the Nigerian youth
to be calm over the #EndSARS protests and not to take laws into
their hands.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary,
Umar Mohammed Puma, Wase urged the youth, particularly in Plateau
state to give peace a chance, saying the federal and state
governments, as well as the National Assembly, will do everything
within its powers to ensure that their demands in the protests are
met.
“I want to appeal for calm and urge our citizens to continue to
uphold the peaceful profile of our dear state by not taking laws
into their hands. Let us not be tempted to attack public properties
and facilities which will take us many years of sacrifice and
struggles to build,” he said.

“The federal, state government and the National Assembly are
doing all that need to be done to ensure justice for the victims of
police brutality. Let us, therefore, cooperate with relevant
government agencies who are working day and night to ensure our
safety.
“I believe that the Nigerian police force has taken note of our
agitations. Let us not take our anger against a reckless few on the
entire state and the country at large. Let us not destroy our
collective heritage while trying to right the wrong of others. Two
wrongs don’t make right.”
