Paul Obazele has warned that President Muhammadu Buhari’s
silence on the protest against police brutality in the country is going too
far.
The actor spoke to TheCable Lifestyle on Saturday after
joining a group of mothers to protest the killing of their children by
operatives of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) in Surulere, Lagos.
“What is happening right now is that a group of women lost
their sons and daughters to the brutality and senseless killings of some people
called SARS. I do not know who empowered them,” he said while holding up a
placard.
“But today they have come out. This should be a clarion call
to every mother and father to come and support the movement. By this time, I
expect the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to give us a broadcast.
“It is going too far and becoming too long. His silence;
first speech is not acceptable for Nigerians. It is not acceptable for mothers,
parents, and the teeming youths you’re seeing.
“The youths have a destiny. We’ve eluded them of it. Give
them a sense of belonging. Say what they want to hear.”
Obazele explained that a revolution no Nigerian can escape
is underway and charged political elites to deploy the power of their mandates
towards the fight for a new Nigeria.
“We have 774 LGAs in this country and two constituencies in
this place. We have people elected into the house of assembly. Where are these
people meant to represent the people?” the actor asked.
“We have blood running through our veins and they’re
ignoring us. It’s totally wrong. If the revolution starts today, where are they
all going to run to?
“Today we say EndSARS. Let the president talk to us. The
time has come for a new Nigeria.”
