#EndSARS: Umahi Begs Youths To Forgive Country’s Leaders
By Joyce Aroh
Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi has appealed to youths to forgive the country’s leaders, noting that the leaders had learnt valuable lessons from the prevailing disturbing situation.
Umahi, who made the appeal on Friday during an address to the people of the state, insisted that the country needed to move forward after the killings and destruction of valuable properties.
The governor urged the youth to particularly, forgive the “unwarranted’’ and regrettable’ shooting of unarmed protesters at Lekki Tollgate, Lagos, as the south-east leaders were pained over the incident.
“Our hearts go to the families of the deceased, and we enjoin the Federal and Lagos State Governments to quicken investigation into the incident.
“It was an act of the devil and the infrastructure being destroyed across the country are for you as leaders of the future.
“You need to be alive to actualise this future because some of you will be presidents, governors, lawmakers and ministers among others.
“No one lives on earth forever, so, we seek your forgiveness so that we will go back to the drawing board,” he said.
