EndSARS: My stand has not changed, I stand with all the families still grieving their loss – Atiku

Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic party, PDP Atiku Abubakar has commiserated with the families still grieving their loved ones that died during the EndSARS protest.

Atiku, in a statement he personally signed on Thursday, expressed disappointment, anger, condemnation, and pain over the incident which occurred two years ago.

There are reports that on Thursday, during the memorial, the police fired tear gas at the participants of the memorial, which took place at the Lekki Tollgate.

According to the former Vice President, he still maintains his stance on the issue

”Two years ago, on this day, I shared a statement of sincere disappointment, anger, condemnation and pain. Two years after, that position has not changed.

”The sad memory of what happened is what we cannot wish away. There’s still a compelling need for Police reforms incorporating State Police and justice for those who have suffered police brutality.”

Referring to the video he shared during the EndSARS, Atiku said: “I maintain the position expressed in this video broadcast on 20/10/20. Our children MUST be heard and provided with spaces to express themselves within the ambit of the law and given opportunities too.

“My heart is still shattered for the families who lost loved ones during the #endsars demonstration. I stand with all families still grieving from their loss.”
