As the ECOWAS chairman, many across the
continent pressured him to condemn the unfortunate happenings where
some military men reportedly opened fire on citizens who were
embarking on a peaceful protest against police brutality, corruption and
kidnapping among others.
In a tweet, Ghana’s president made it clear that he
had spoken with President Muhammadu Buhari and the use of dialogue in resolving
the impasse had already begun.
He urged both the citizens of
Nigeria and Nigeria’s security forces to calm down and never resort to violence
since it can never be the solution.
I join all well-meaning persons in calling for calm, and the use
of dialogue in resolving the #EndSARS impasse
in Nigeria.
I have spoken with President Buhari, who is committed to this end,
and has begun the processes that will lead to reform.
Violence, be it on the part of the Police or protesters, cannot be
the solution.
To the families who have lost their loved ones, I
express my sincere condolences, and I wish the injured a speedy recovery, he said.
Check out the original tweet below:
