A former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s nationwide address over the #EndSARS protest.
Melaye said Buhari’s speech made him speechless.
Newsflash247 had earlier reported that Buhari spoke on the #EndSARS protests, violence and government actions.
Buhari also warned hoodlums who have hijacked the peaceful protest to desist.
He appealed to protesters demanding police reform to cease the protests.
The president, in his first broadcast on the #EndSARS protest and the violence that has resulted from it, said he was “deeply pained that innocent lives have been lost.”
He said his government was working to meet the demands of the protesters.
“I therefore call on our youths to discontinue the street protests and constructively engage government in finding solutions. Your voice has been heard loud and clear and we are responding,” the president said.
Reacting, Melaye, in a tweet via his Twitter handle wrote: “The speech of the president made me speechless.
“Mennnnnn I tire oooo. Recommending panadol for cancer is suicidal. SDM.”
