Falz speaking at the End SARS memorial procession had this to say;

“This is why we are here because we can never allow them to erase the legacy of the victims.

I think it is important that the Nigerian youths focus on the next elections for leaders who respect justice and human rights.

Those coffins are very symbolic and we don’t want to cause trouble and just remember those who laid their lives for us.”

As for Mr Macaroni, he stated that he is not prepared to disappoint those who lost their lives during the End SARS protest in 2020. Instead, he is willing to seek justice for every individual who lost their life on that fateful night.

Additionally, Macaroni mentioned that the Nigerian government should do better by providing adequate security and basic amenities for the people.

Speaking at the memorial program, Macaroni 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 that made some recommendations but these 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 we continue to table our demands. Are you going to fulfil the promises 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.”
