Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
End SARS protesters are condemning the \u201csecret meeting\u201d a few Nigerians held with some governors and tycoons.<\/p>\n
The virtual meeting was held Monday night. It lasted nearly three hours.<\/p>\n
In attendance were Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), and Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (Kwara).<\/p>\n
Others were Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, and Aisha Yesufu.<\/p>\n
The rest are Ayo Balogun (Wizkid), Folarin Falana (Falz), Adebola Willams (Debola Lagos), Dipo Awojide and Pamilerin Adegoke.<\/p>\n
Screenshots of the parley have leaked on social media.<\/p>\n
Respondents insist that the protesters have no leaders. They are accusing the government of infiltration.<\/p>\n
Trouble started after Dipo Awojide, who co-led the London protest, announced on Tuesday that he and others were in a meeting.<\/p>\n
Awojide disclosed that 7 of them met with some leaders of the private sector and governors between 10pm-12:45am.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey pleaded with us to either stop the protest or protest peacefully. They promised to \u2018move mountains\u2019 and ACT today.<\/p>\n
\u201cI currently don\u2019t have the permission of the 7 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lecturer stated that the discourse was very heated and every concern was communicated.<\/p>\n
In other tweets, he said any committee the presidency\/police wants to set up on the way forward must include Aisha Yesufu, FK Abudu, Douglas Jack Agu (Runtown) Falz.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavido and Wizkid have really really tried. But I deliberately left out their names. Those 4 people for starters. We can add: Mo, Rinu, Bulawayo Bukarti and Debo Macaroni.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese 8 people should be speaking to government. #EndSWAT #EndSARS\u2026No political jobbers. No career activists. And I don\u2019t want to have anything to do with it\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
However, Segun Awosanya (Segalink), regarded as the Nigerian who started the campaign against Police brutality and #EndSARS, was not at the meeting.<\/p>\n
On top of this, Awojide did not include him in the names he suggested. He is being queried by Segalink\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n
Protesters are criticizing his exclusion. They are recalling how he intervened at several times during arbitrary arrests.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
