As Nigerians continue to demand for their rights on extortion and harassment of Nigerians by the scrapped SARS now named SWAT, twitter has gone berserk over the secret meeting held with some selected Governors and business tycoon.
The virtual meeting held via zoom was held on Monday night which was reported to have lasted for like three hours.
Those who were named in attendance at the meeting were Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu,(Lagos),Dapo Abiodun,(Ogun),Ifeanyi Okowa,(Delta).and Abdulrahman Abdulrazak,(Kwara) while the remaining were Ayo Balogun, (Wizkid),Folarin Femi Falana, (Falz),Adebola Williams(Debola Lagos),Dipo Awojide and Adegoke Pamilerin.
This was revealed in a leaked screen shots available on Social media.
Lot of active Twitter uses insist the #ENDSARS have no leaders and it would be impossible for the Government to divide the youths by inviting selected people to a secret meeting.
Many argued that the war to end sars had been an open one, hence, any meeting or deliberating should open.
Argument ensued when the a co-leader of the London protest,Dipo Awojide tweeted on Tuesday that he and other selected people attended a secret meeting.
Fondly called Dr. Dipo explained that the seven of them met with some leaders of the private sector and governors which started around 10pm and lasted close to three hours.
“They pleaded with us to either stop the protest or protest peacefully. They promised to ‘move mountains’ and ACT today.
“I currently don’t have the permission of the seven people that attended to disclose their identity but I can assure you they are the same people who have been at the forefront in Lagos, Abuja and London.”
He however stated that the discourse was very heated and every concern was communicated adding that any committee of the presidency or police should have Aisha Yesufu, FK Abudu, Douglas Jack Agu (Runtown) Falz as members reresenting.
“Davido and Wizkid have really really tried. But I deliberately left out their names. Those four people for starters. We can add: Mo, Rinu, Bulawayo Bukarti and Debo Macaroni.
“These 8 people should be speaking to government on #EndSARS which has now changed name to #EndSWAT.
Speaking bitterly also is Segun Awosanya popularly known as Segalink who was the one who floated the campaign against Police brutality and #EndSARS, was not at the meeting.
Segalinks fans therefore felt insulted that Awojide never gave any mention of the man who pioneered that struggle many years back saying his exclusion has some undertone.
Awosanya who had intervened at several times during arbitrary arrests.
However, some argue that it was not compulsory to have Segalink at the meeting. The activist, they say, was now close to the Police and may no longer be neutral.
Others are demanding an end to all forms of meetings. This set believes the youths should remain focused and continue with the demonstrations.
Segalink who sounded bitter about the issue at hand declared that “hijackers” have taken over.
“Special thanks to @SavvyRinu et all who started the organic protest before the hijackers took it over. We shall overcome. #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG”, he tweeted.
Meanwhile, Aisha Yesufu, has reiterated that she doesn’t wish to be included in a panel.
“Let it be known that I, Aisha Yesufu is not interested in being in any committee. The streets is where I belong not the table.
“That’s my strength! Let those who are good at the table be put forth. We must always put our best foot forward!”, the freedom fighter asserted.
