LATEST: Peter Obi Reacts To #EndSARS Memorial Protest
It is debatable if the initial #EndSARS demonstration in 2020 should be described as a massacre, but the attack on Nigerians was terrible, he continued.
He reportedly clarified the matter in an interview with Politics Today on Channels TV, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
He said, “It’s a very heavy statement to make, saying that our party, Labour Party is a beneficiary of EndSARS. While we are always on the side of the people, on side of good governance, we are against attrition, we are against repression and all those.
“You may be more correct to put it in another way, but we are not direct beneficiaries of EndSARS. The use of the word massacre is highly debatable. We never wanted EndSARS to happen. We never any Nigerians whatsoever to be attacked. Accordingly, we are not happy for anybody to say we are beneficiaries of EndSARS.
