Nigerian musician, actor, and politician, Olubankole ‘Banky W’ Wellington, commends Protestants who are clamoring for the banning of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad “SARS”.
The ban hasn't been made effective yet, despite the uproar of Nigerian youths clamoring for the abolition of “SARS”.
Many Nigerians are pushing the social media campaign ‘#EndSARS’ on social media, with some, participating in a 2-day nationwide protest across the country to influence the ban.
On Friday the 9th of October 2020, Banky W took to social media to commend everyone who participated in the peaceful #EndSARS protest so far.
Massive shoutout to everyone who took part in the peaceful #endsars protests. I'm extremely proud of you and will continue to voice my support for the changes we desperately need.
However, Banky W accentuated different periods of which the government claimed to ban this security unity, only to overturn their decisions every time. The veteran musician posted pictorial evidence of newsletters dated back to 2017 to back his claims.
He further advised Nigerians to fully participate in politics to influence change in the system, by exercising their rights to vote and by supporting like-minded individuals who are running for office. In his words:
Let's all register to vote. Then let's ALL get into a party as one massive force/block. Let influence/impact the system from within.
