While his colleague in Rivers State placed a ban on the peaceful #EndSARS protests embarked on by the youths across the country, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has taken a different turn, like another colleague in the South West Seyi Makinde, asking the Police not to disrupt the protests.
In a statement release via his official Twitter handle, Governor Okowa noted that peaceful protests such as the #EndSARS campaign are a necessary part of the democratic process.
Asking that the youths, however, express their grievances calmly and law-abiding, Okowa asked that the Police allow them ezpress themselvess without using brute force on them. “Peaceful protests are a necessary part of the democratic process. As young people across Delta State continue to express their legitimate grievances in this manner, I ask that they remain calm and law-abiding at all times”, he began.

“I also request that the Police allow them to express themselves and refrain from using brute force in responding to these protests. Going forward, we shall continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders to reform the Nigeria Police Force in a manner that makes it more professional, disciplined, and accountable to the people”, he tweeted.
