#EndSWAT: Mixed Reactions Trail ‘Secret Meeting’ Of Governors, Billionaires, 7 Other Celebrities

End SARS protesters are condemning the “secret meeting” a few Nigerians held with some governors and tycoons.

The virtual meeting was held Monday night. It lasted nearly three hours.

In attendance were Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), and Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (Kwara).

Others were Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, and Aisha Yesufu.

The rest are Ayo Balogun (Wizkid), Folarin Falana (Falz), Adebola Willams (Debola Lagos), Dipo Awojide and Pamilerin Adegoke.

Trouble started after Dipo Awojide, who co-led the London protest, announced on Tuesday that he and others were in a meeting.

Awojide disclosed that 7 of them met with some leaders of the private sector and governors between 10pm-12:45am.

“They pleaded with us to either stop the protest or protest peacefully. They promised to ‘move mountains’ and ACT today.

“I currently don’t have the permission of the 7 people that attended to disclose their identity but I can assure you they are the same people who have been at the forefront in Lagos, Abuja and London.”

The lecturer stated that the discourse was very heated and every concern was communicated.

Lifestylegist gathered few reactions online:

The sacrifices of protesters should not go in vain.
The governments are trying to divide us, making us not to speak with one voice.

This #SARSMUSTENDNOW movement has no leader. It is wrong for Dipo or anyone to suggest a list, it will cause chaos.

Aisha & Sega won't have a problem with the govt addressing us publicly.

The goal is to #EndSARS & stop #SWAT. No commitee, no leader!

No SARS or SWAT. #EndSWAT

When Ogbeni Dipo mentioned that Aisha Yesufu was also in the meeting, I knew that young people have nothing to fear about such meetings.

It will be futile.
As long as Aisha dey there.

For that woman,
You either #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria or all die na die.

Jungle don mature.

How many protesters on the street are aware that some people had a secret meeting with “stakeholders”?

How many protesters are aware that Ogbeni Dipo has created a list of people to negotiate for us?

This is why we said we have no leader, this is not a twitter protest! #EndSWAT

After bashing Davido for holding an open meeting, you are quiet about Dipo and co for holding a private zoom meeting. Hypocrite!!!

“Sega na fraud”

Coming from someone who has never released someone from police custody because he wants to join the bandwagon on twitter and appear woke.
