EndSARSMemorial2: Our children must be heard, my heart still shattered — Atiku
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has sympathised with the families of the victims of the EndSARS protest in 2020.
Atiku, a former vice president, in his statement reacting to the memorial of the killing of some youths demanding police reform said; “Two years ago, on this day, I shared a statement of sincere disappointment, anger, condemnation and pain. Two years after, that position has not changed. The sad memory of what happened is what we cannot wish away.
“There’s still a compelling need for Police reforms incorporating State Police and justice for those who have suffered police brutality. I maintain the position expressed in this video broadcast on 20/10/20.
“Our children MUST be heard and provided with spaces to express themselves within the ambit of the law and given opportunities too. My heart is still shattered for the families who lost loved ones during the #endsars demonstration.
“I stand with all families still grieving from their loss.”
