#EndSARS: ‘You’re a kindergarten oppressor’, Magashi Slams Datti Over Comment

Haruna Magashi, vice presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has slammed his Labour Party counterpart, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, over his recent comment on the #EndSARS protests.

Earlier this week, Baba-Ahmed stated on a Channels Television program that the use of the term “massacre” to describe the unlawful killing of peaceful protesters by Nigerian security forces is debatable.

According to Peter Obi’s running mate, the word massacre has technical meanings that may or may not apply to the situation in context.

Magashi responded to Baba-Ahmed’s remark by saying, “I understand why Datti is speaking from a watery and cunning mouth on this issue.” He is a kindergarten oppressor who delights in portraying himself as the enemy of the people.”

“Datti is so conservative and anti-people that he has never once condemned or fought against the thousands of human rights violations in the North.”

According to Magashi’s office, Baba-comment Ahmed’s sought to defend the indefensible and was a “insult on the quest for the total liberation of all Nigerians from the wicked hand of fascists and systematic tyranny.”

“Datti is clearly defending barbarism with this statement. His other defences are insults on the most profound Judicial Panel Report in history that critically and correctly judged the incidents at Lekki as a “massacre!”,” he said.

He added, “By legal and moral standards, what happened in Lekki is not just an abuse of human rights; it is a grave assault on humanity. It is a pogrom that has put thousands of people in trauma, perpetual fear, and depression. I align with all the great ENDSARS youths and the Judicial Panel that what was planned and executed for hours on the night of October 20th, 2020, two years ago, was a genocide. A wicked and bloody pogrom. A massacre we will never forget.”
