Bauchi Youths Deserve Praise For Not Partaking In #EndSARS Protests – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to hail Bauchi youths for not partaking in the recent #EndSARS protests across Nigeria.

He recently revealed that the youths should be hailed for not participating in a protest that later led to violence and looting of public and private property.

According to him, the maturity shown by them amid the agitation is admirable because the gathering all across the country was mostly misdirected and misguided.

He added that he would keep reciprocating the good gesture of the Bayelsan government and the people of the state.

His words, “As your representatives in government, we are very proud of the comportment of the youth in particular, and the generality of the people in the state, in the face of current hardship.

“We are also aware that the hardship has been compounded by the economic downtown occasioned by the global crash in the prices of oil, and the ravaging effects of COVID-19 pandemic.

“Notwithstanding the hardship, you were wise enough not to adopt a solution which will inflict more hardship than the initial problem.”

He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.
