Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe state and acting chairman of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), says there is a hidden agenda in the
#EndSARS protests.
Thousands of Nigerians have been in the streets protesting
against police brutality. The protests compelled the government to disband the
special anti-robbery squad (SARS) which is notorious for human rights
violations.
In an interview with BBC Hausa on Monday, Buni said the
protests may result in anarchy if not properly handled.
“Hoodlums can utilise the gathering to cause confusion and
terrorise other innocent citizens,” he said.
“The ongoing protests
show that there is a hidden agenda, after the government has responded to the
protesters’ demand.
“Nigeria is a country accommodating people with several
motives and demands which include restructuring and disintegration, thus, we
should be careful.
“There are criminals who see the disbanded police unit as a
threat to their criminal activities.”
“All leaders should
know that it is only when the country exists in peace that one can achieve
their goals, you cannot be a leader through chaos, it will not be well.”
The governor also said the challenges facing Nigeria are
enormous and cannot be solved in five years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration.
The federal government had said it would not allow the
#EndSARS protests plunge the nation into anarchy.
