Senate President Ahmad Lawan has appealed to #EndSARS protesters to consider the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lawan said continous occupation of the major cities and roads could worsen the nation\u2019s economic situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Senate President pointed out that the youth had made their legitimate demands and the government had listened to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told Journalists in Abuja after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, alongside Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, that the message from the protesters had been effectively communicated and led to some responses, which he said include the termination of SARS as a unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cIt is also very critical at this point to mention this. Since the protests have taken place and the issues have been accepted, the time has come for the protests to stop because the government needs to have sufficient time, a clement environment to implement the demands of the protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe also need to have our economy to continue to go on, when you try to stop everybody from engaging in their lawful business, closing roads to markets and other economic places, we distract the economy of the country and that is not the best way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf the issues had not been accepted, then there would have been genuine reasons to continue with demonstrations and protests, but since the issues have been accepted, we should give the government time to implement the issues and therefore, I\u2019m taking this opportunity to our youths who are protesting that the protests have already yielded the desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst they said #EndSARS, that was the beginning, SARS was ended, not by the IGP. SARS was ended by the President himself, President Muhammadu Buhari made a Presidential statement and that would be the first time when any president will say \u2018end SARS\u2019 and SARS has ended. The other issues followed, they are being addressed and that\u2019s why we are here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI believe the time has come for this protest to come to an end to allow government to attend to the issues in a very short time. I also believe that other Nigerians have legitimate right to go about their lawful businesses without let or hindrance and we cannot have that when the roads are blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want a situation where there will be a degeneration of law and order because somebody is blocked he feels he must have his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo we believe that withdrawing from this protest at this moment is the right thing to do, meanwhile give us the opportunity to deal with matters that we, as a government, have agreed to handle,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe essence of coming to meet Mr. President is to review the situation and see the role the two arms of government should play in ensuring that the five-point demands are properly addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere legislative intervention required, we are ready to move in and deal with such expeditiously to ensure that we don\u2019t waste any time so that we address the concern of our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate President Ahmad Lawan has appealed to #EndSARS protesters to consider the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lawan said continous occupation of the major cities and roads could worsen the nation\u2019s economic situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Senate President pointed out that the youth had made their legitimate demands and the government had listened to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told Journalists in Abuja after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, alongside Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, that the message from the protesters had been effectively communicated and led to some responses, which he said include the termination of SARS as a unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cIt is also very critical at this point to mention this. Since the protests have taken place and the issues have been accepted, the time has come for the protests to stop because the government needs to have sufficient time, a clement environment to implement the demands of the protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe also need to have our economy to continue to go on, when you try to stop everybody from engaging in their lawful business, closing roads to markets and other economic places, we distract the economy of the country and that is not the best way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf the issues had not been accepted, then there would have been genuine reasons to continue with demonstrations and protests, but since the issues have been accepted, we should give the government time to implement the issues and therefore, I\u2019m taking this opportunity to our youths who are protesting that the protests have already yielded the desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst they said #EndSARS, that was the beginning, SARS was ended, not by the IGP. SARS was ended by the President himself, President Muhammadu Buhari made a Presidential statement and that would be the first time when any president will say \u2018end SARS\u2019 and SARS has ended. The other issues followed, they are being addressed and that\u2019s why we are here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI believe the time has come for this protest to come to an end to allow government to attend to the issues in a very short time. I also believe that other Nigerians have legitimate right to go about their lawful businesses without let or hindrance and we cannot have that when the roads are blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want a situation where there will be a degeneration of law and order because somebody is blocked he feels he must have his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe essence of coming to meet Mr. President is to review the situation and see the role the two arms of government should play in ensuring that the five-point demands are properly addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere legislative intervention required, we are ready to move in and deal with such expeditiously to ensure that we don\u2019t waste any time so that we address the concern of our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
