  Former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has claimed that former president Olusegun Obasanjo told President Muhammadu Buhari the ‘bitter truth’ about the recent #EndSARS protests during a virtual meeting on Friday. Buhari had met with past heads of states and presidents following the recent violence recorded in parts of the country over the two-week-long #EndSARS protests. While presidential aide, Femi Adesina, said Obasanjo had commended Buhari for the national broadcast he delivered on the protests, Fani-Kayode claimed that the former president countered Buhari over his claim that the protesters resorted to violence. “Glad that OBJ told Buhari the bitter truth at their meeting after he claimed that the protests were turning violent.

Following Buhari’s speech, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu took to his social media pages to also address Lagosians, as he mourned the lives lost and reiterated on the government’s plans to reform the Police.
