The Edo State Government has lauded the #EndBadGovernance protesters on their peaceful conduct during the nationwide protests, saying that they have carried themselves responsibly in expressing themselves and letting their voices heard on the state of the affairs in the nation.

Governor Godwin Obaseki, gave the commendation through the Hon. Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare.

Obaseki said that in the last four days, the protesters have shown to be law-abiding, bonding with men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and other security agencies who were on hand to ensure that law and order is maintained during the demonstrations.

While thanking them for their show of maturity, Obaseki warned them against allowing the hoodlums to hijack the process.

“However, we will like to sound a note of warning to hoodlums and criminals who would want to take advantage of the protest to cause mayhem that security forces have been mandated to apprehend and arrest anyone caught disrupting public peace or perpetrating crime of any kind.

“We have received information that some persons have taken to blocking major roads, obstructing vehicular traffic and extorting motorists.

“Security persons have been mandated to round up all those involved in such criminal activities as they would be made to face the full weight of the law.

“Once again, we enjoin law-abiding members of the public to go about their lawful businesses without fear, as government would continue to work to ensure the growth and progress in the State”, Obaseki reassured the citizens of the state.
