Accord presidential candidate, Professor Christopher Imumolen has advised Nigerian youths not to allow the deaths of those who died during the October 20, 2020 #EndSARS Lekki Tollgate Plaza massacre to be in vain.
Although the Nigerian government has continued to deny complicity in the shooting of the peaceful protesters, the yearly ritual of remembering those killed at the Lekki tollgate has gained more ground amongst a section of the country’s youth, as they try to preserve the legacy and significance of that fateful day.
In a statement credited to him, Imumolen advised young Nigerians not to allow the deaths of the Lekki tollgate “heroes” to be in vain, adding that the biggest honour the country’s young population can bestow on their dead countrymen and countrywomen is to continue to uphold the very tenets of the struggle that ultimately cost them their lives.
One way Imumolen recommends Nigerian youths can honour those who were murdered on October 20, 2020 is to ensure that they adopt and vote in a young candidate into office as Nigeria’s president in next year’s general elections, as, in his opinion, only a candidate who is truly a youth will be better placed to help them actualise their deepest desires and aspirations in today’s Nigeria.
