Northern Coordinators pull out of October 1 #Endbad-governance protest

From: Femi Oyelola,Kaduna

Less than 24 hours to commence the planned October 1 nationwide protest, Northern Coordinators of the #Endbadgovernance protest across the 19 northern states have pulled out because organizers haven’t done enough to provide security for protesters.
According to the Coordinators, the decision to pull out was reached after failure on the side of national organizers to resolve the knotty issues around how to safeguard protesters and wade off hoodlums from hijacking the process again.
In a statement jointly signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Northern Coordinators of #Endbadgivernance Protest, Comrade Abdullahi Daura and Mal. Mohammed Musa Biu, the Coordinators, disclosed that members were apprehensive about a repeat of the violence that erupted in Kano, Kaduna, and other parts of the north and didn’t want anything destructive.
“We have asked questions and wrote several requesting for security cover at the convergence points in the north where people will join the protest action. But we are yet to get a clear answer and measures taken to avoid violence and looting of property.
“Against this background, we are urging all out members of all the nineteen states to obey the directives from the Coordinators and pull until we get clearance from security agencies.”
