Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo says that there are still “opportunities ‘’ for President Muhammmadu Buhari and his administration to show that they understand the plight of the youths as the #EndSars protests rages.

Obasanjo made this disclosure during a visit to the palace of the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi yesterday, Monday, October 19, 2020.

Speaking on the protests staged by youths demanding a better Nigeria rocking different parts of the country Obasanjo stated that “Over 65 percent of our population are under the age of 35 who look up to the best in life who struggle for education, some of them didn’t even get educated while those who are educated get frustrated because of lack of opportunities. We must realize that the lid on the boiling steam would have to be removed.

“But I believe that there are windows of opportunity which the government can explore to show that it cares about the people, especially the youths welfare as the father of the country particularly as the father of the youths.

“Fortunately by experience, the president has children and he knows how youths behave. I believe that the opportunities can still be taken to let the youths know that he as a father understands their plight and his government understands their plight and he is ready to make life better for them.”
