She wrote;
On this day Sunday, 11th of October , 2020.
Hello Mr. President,
I have been offline since 1st of September , 2020 ; I can’t keep quiet anymore! In as much as I really don’t want to be online at the moment for reasons best known to me , i can’t deny that I don’t know what is going on in the country , and I feel this is the right time for me to use my platform to speak out.
The Nigerian youths are not protesting for food , good roads , jobs , lights and other social amenities which you know that those are the things we also lack in the country; what we are asking for in one voice is that the government should #Endsars #Endpolicebrutality.
We are scared , we are tired of the innocent killings here and there,which is shown on all social media platforms,your silence will only make things worse , you need to speak to the people . Don’t make us believe our president is a ghost .
Mr President sir , we are not mind readers , we can’t tell what’s on your mind , but the fact remains that the lost innocent souls are our brothers and sisters ; the everyday killings and harrasment from SARS is heartbreaking , unbearable and sad. Enough is enough , the killings & bullying has to stop! 💔💔💔💔. #Ourlivesmatter #ENDSarsnow #Endpolicebrutality .
Signed ,
Angela Okorie .
