Nasarawa State Governor has said that most of the protesters in the state during the #EndBadGovernance protest were Almajiris, who knew nothing about the demonstrations.
The protest took a different turn after looting and destruction in some northern states led to the imposition of curfews.
On Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics, Governor Sule expressed concern over several challenges facing the northern region.
According to Sule, many protesters involved in the demonstrations were young, and most did not know what they were protesting against.
The Governor emphasized that during this last protest that we had in Lafia, the majority of those that came out on the streets were the Almajiris – some of them five years old, seven years old, nine years old.
“A lot of them didn’t even understand the meaning of the protest. When I spoke with them later, they didn’t even know what they were protesting against.”
