The Federal lawmaker, who is representing Osun Central senatorial district in a statement signed by his media Media Adviser Remi Ibitola, said the lackadaisical attitude of the Federal Executive lingered to anarchy and destruction of lives and property.
He further statement that the Senate had on Tuesday resolved that the President should address the nation, saying not knowing that the evening of that day will bring about more sinister dimensions to the already deteriorated situation.
According to him, “I have monitored with shock and personal indignation the turn out of events on the #EndSARS protest with evidence of obvious descent of the country, particularly in the Southwest of Nigeria, after the reckless and disturbing incident at Lekki toll gate yesterday evening.
“As a student who was involved in several protests, I see no reason for the display of outright recklessness by shooting into unarmed protesters by whoever, governmental or otherwise.
“As an elected representative of the people of Osun Central in the Senate, I deprecate the clear lackadaisical attitude of the Federal Executive to the lingering anarchy and destruction of lives and property.
“By section 14 of our Constitution security and welfare of the people is the paramount purpose of government.
“I hereby urge the President to live up to the Constitution and find a lasting, peaceful and human friendly solution to the crisis and also comply with the several resolutions of the National Assembly.
“I find it personally uncomfortable to keep silent anymore as an elected representative of the people whose youths are been killed and bruised”. he said
