The 90-year-old expressed concern over Tinubu’s omission of this critical issue, Vanguard reports.
He said Tinubu’s speech didn’t address Police brutality against protesters
The statement partially reads:
“My primary concern, quite predictably, is the continuing deterioration of the state’s seizure of protest management, an area in which the presidential address fell conspicuously short.
“Such short-changing of civic deserving, regrettably, goes to arm the security forces in the exercise of impunity and condemns the nation to a seemingly unbreakable cycle of resentment and reprisals.
