Nigeria’s President Muhammed Buhari said the #EndSARS protests happened because Nigerian youths wanted to remove him from office.

He also attributed Nigeria’s loss of foreign investment to the protests.

Mr. Buhari said on Thursday during an interview on the ‘Good Morning Show’ on ARISE TV.

When asked about his administration’s plans to make Nigeria more impressive for foreign involvements, Mr. Buhari clarified that the youths should behave politely if they want better jobs.

“This question was answered when there were the #End SARS protests. You remember the young people who wanted to match here and remove me.

“I have ordered the members of the executive council to go to each state to speak to the governors, the traditional leaders, the business people to tell the youths that if they want jobs, they would have to behave themselves and make sure Nigeria is secured,” expressed the president.

The President added, “So that people can come in to invest because people know Nigeria is secured. We are a rich country, and God had endowed us.
