Popular human rights and socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has said corrupt politicians in Nigeria are frustrating the masses, which can lead to another nationwide protest.
Yesufu said the anger burning in the hearts of Nigerians may sponsor another protest hotter than the one experienced in 2020 tagged ‘EndSARS’.
The movement, which gained momentum on Twitter, called for the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a notorious unit of the Nigeria Police Force.
The protests quickly spread to major cities in Nigeria and turned violent, resulting in the loss of lives, particularly young Nigerians.
Yesufu, who played a prominent role in the #EndSARS protests, highlighted the underlying anger in the country, instigated by the arrogance and audacity of corrupt politicians and leaders who manipulated their way into power.
“No one predicted the #EndSARS protest. Likewise, the next uprising might catch everyone off guard,” she expressed on X.
“Regrettably, it could escalate into violence. The prevailing anger is being fueled by the impunity and audacity of the corrupt politicians and rulers who have subverted the democratic process. No one will be spared.”
