Mr Macaroni Demands For Justice During #LekkiMassacre Memorial
The Nigerian comedian on Thursday, October 20, 2022 delivered a speech at the #LekkiMassacre memorial. He demanded for justice from the government following the termination of numerous Nigerian youths during the 2020 #EndSARS protest.
He had this to say;
“We cannot forget and the fallen heroes must know that people are here demanding justice.
The Lagos Gov set a panel who made some recommendations but this are yet to be met. We wonder whether they are on the side of the truth or not?
This place was also said to be named the Lekki Memorial Plaza; we are not fighting the Government but we deserve better.
We should ask the Govt how long are we continue to table our demands. Are you going to fulfill the promises and this is a call to the state government and Federal Government to do well by the Nigerian youths.
The Nigerian youths have been consistent and not violent; it was the Govt who were violent but they won’t touch anyone because it is election season and they are deceitful. We are Nigerians first before becoming a police officer or a governor.“
