ABDULLAHI ADAMU: #ENDSARS PROTESTS SPONSORED AGAINST THE NORTH

THE SENATOR REPRESENTING NASARAWA-WEST, ABDULLAHI ADAMU, SAYS THE #ENDSARS PROTESTS WERE SPONSORED BY SOME PROMINENT NIGERIANS TO DISCREDIT THE NORTH. 

THE #ENDSARS PROTESTS WERE STAGED BY YOUTH ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY IN OCTOBER.

SPEAKING IN AN INTERVIEW, ADAMU, WHO WAS THE NASARAWA STATE GOVERNOR BETWEEN 1999 AND 2007, DESCRIBED THE PROTESTS AS “MACHINATIONS AGAINST NORTHERN INTEREST”, SAYING THEY WERE SPONSORED BECAUSE “ONE OF US IS THE PRESIDENT TODAY”.

ACCORDING TO HIM, IF PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI WERE NOT FROM THE NORTH, “YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS KIND OF NONSENSE”.
