The All Progressives Congress (APC) has on Thursday decried the alleged politicisation of #EndSARS protests by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “irresponsible.”

The Lagos APC expressed this concern in a statement by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr Seye Oladejo which reads,

 “Our attention has been drawn to the needless and irresponsible politicising of the #EndSARS nationwide protest by the opposition PDP. “It will be recalled that the Lagos State Government since the commencement of the protest march around different parts of the state has been supportive.

“The Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his deputy have taken turn to address the protesters, identifying with the issues at stake and assuring of the state government sympathy.

 “The governor, in keeping with his promise, went ahead to present the terms of the resolution of the crisis to President Mohammadu Buhari in Abuja,”

 Oladejo added that “It is worthy of note that the most important responsibility of any worthwhile government is the protection of the lives and property of the citizens as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution.

 “The #EndSARS protest seeks to enforce this provision within the ambit of the citizens fundamental human right to life and dignity.

 “As a party, we are all concerned about the incessant incidents of police brutality which largely remain unchecked.

 “There’s no doubt that no one is immune against the lawlessness of a police force trained and sustained by the taxpayers’ money.”

 He however decried, the recent turn of events at the protest with the attack launched by hoodlums on armless and peaceful protesters, saying it is a serious cause for concern.
