#EndSARS: Don’t Get Distracted, Focus On The Issue, Aisha Yesufu Urges Protesters

BY DAYO ADESULU

Hunan Rights activist, campaigner of Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) and one of the leading voices of the #EndSARS protest, Aisha Yesufu has urged #EndSARS protesters not to get distracted but focus on the issue of the protest.

Yesufu who made the renewed call via her Twitter handle, @AishaYesufu, on Wednesday said: ”

She said, “Dear Nigerian youths, you have the government when you want the government. You are doing amazing, you are doing something that we haven’t done.

“Please don’t get distracted over this issue of who is this, who is not what; eye on the ball —forget the distraction. There is nothing yet for you to go into fighting mode over. Focus on your message and the results that you want. That’s what is most important.

“Yes, we have seen the headlines from the government but have you seen the execution plan?

“Can the government bring an execution plan where we know A, B, C, D, this is what it will do from this time to this time, what will happen with the time frame? That is what is most important.”

“A lot of people who are not being part of this protest as you will expect are trying to discredit it by talking about the protest being monetised. If anybody collects money for the protest, drag the person out, let those who didn’t collect money do their thing.

“If yours is monetised, another person isn’t monetised. I wonder why we want to drag things down. This is part of the things that had hurt the older generation and that is why we’ve remained divided and we have not had the country that works for all of us.

“Please don’t get distracted, focus on the issue. You are doing so great. You have woken up, you’ve found your voices and you have even given us also voices. #EndSARS now, #SARSMustEnd and we must have a great nation. Nothing else matters.”

Yesufu was apparently reacting to the leadership tussle rocking some of the voices of the #EndSARS campaign.
