THE YOUTHS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY LEADERS FOR TOO LONG-GOV. ABIODUN.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

  When I addressed #EndSARS campaigners in Abeokuta earlier today, I expressed my strong dissatisfaction with how the youth have been taken for granted by leaders for too long, which is the root of the current widespread protests across the Country. Thankfully, our persistent demands don't end with the disbandment of the SARS. It is just the beginning. The people have said they want a total reform which thankfully too, the President has shown genuine commitment to. Police brutality is a systemic evil that must be taken seriously, so other State Governors and I are already working out how to address the menace in each of our states to complement what is being done at the centre. Even as we wait keenly but patiently for the reforms to be actualised, let's rest assured that Ogun State will always listen to her people. As we have not pressed charges against over 30 arrested but now free protesters, we never will. @dapoabiodunmfr #BuildingOurFutureTogether #ISEYA #EndSarsProtests
