He said, “If there’s a leadership and the leadership is deliberately hiding, it’s not good enough in terms of negotiations, dialoguing and getting concessions as it becomes difficult.”
Baako argues that, Nigerian authorities believe that the group is not genuine and the actors in the protest are only doing so to create problems in the country.
He advised that Nigerian authorities take steps to address the concerns raised before it degenerates.
“The state actors begin to suspect that this is not a genuine movement; these are people who just want to create problems,” Baako observed.
He added that the authorities should note that the protest did not come in a vacuum, therefore, they should address the problems.
