Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello has urged EndSARS protesters to produce leaders in order to enable government at all levels know who to interface with.
Bello who made the call on Monday in his address to the youths noted that it would be difficult resolving some of the issues since there are no leaders to dialogue with the government, adding that the protest could be hijacked by opportunist at the expense of the country.
He said, “We cannot even appoint people into the various bodies being set up to address your demands without being afraid that opportunists who have no credibility with you are high-jacking it.
“May I also request that the protesters give us people to engage with, especially on the timeliest schedules for calling it a day which accommodates all reasonable demands,” he said.
The protests seemed to have intensified even after the government’s concession to disband SARS as other demands surfaced.
The demands are; sacking of security chiefs, increment in police salary, closure of the northern borders to stop the free entry of Fulani herdsmen and bandits among others.
However, the governor also seized the opportunity to warn the youths to resist the temptation of using the protest to seek an undemocratic change in leadership.
