However he was with us right there at the State HOA signing his copy of the petition. https://twitter.com/saharareporters/status/1314315968689188864?s=21

3. Meanwhile earlier in the day, we had an encounter with members of the Revolution people and we insisted that we are neither being bankrolled nor sponsored for any political movement.
We are just Nigerian youths demanding for their rights

4. Obasa, the Speaker of the House, made us understand that the House Iâd Assembly does not seat on Fridays but as a result of our overnight protest, they will be having an emergency plenary session, which we agreed to.
5. Time creeped by slowly https://twitter.com/savvyrinu/status/1314378647634145281?s=21
6. As if the day will never break. https://twitter.com/savvyrinu/status/1314427074543841280?s=21
7. But finally, the day broke! https://twitter.com/savvyrinu/status/1314445297070866432?s=21
8. The Honorables arrived around 9AM by then which many influencers @UnclePamilerin @DannyWalta @aproko_doctor @EbituPromise @Dehkunle @notjustsalmanPR @AuntyLizzzy amongst others were already on ground. https://twitter.com/iyawothickabody/status/1314496753027239937?s=21
9. By 10AM: We were asked to choose a team of youths that will be in the emergency plenary session to discuss the petition whose foremost & most important demand is to #EndSARS!
*Note that we were not there to negotiate or plot.* There are protocols & procedures in law.

10. SARS has not been scrapped because there are some laid down laws binding them. It is that law we were there to discuss at the session.
Even in heaven, there is hierarchy. We elected these people with our own hands, so we have to follow due process whether we like it or not.

12. Still in the emergency plenary session: https://twitter.com/savvyrinu/status/1314497909610741762?s=21
13. You can clearly hear our lawmakers especially @desmondElliotv move their motion in support of us that they want the rogue unit SARS to be ended as well. https://twitter.com/savvyrinu/status/1314498510952243200?s=21
14. More evidence: https://twitter.com/channelstv/status/1314502002500567042?s=21
15. More evidence to show you we werenât there for plotting or negotiations: https://twitter.com/unclepamilerin/status/1314499423813201921?s=21
16. More evidence: https://twitter.com/pulsenigeria247/status/1314497296172806144?s=21
17. We spent over 36 hours in the cold for this and someone is there trying to play politics games with us by trying to push a narrative that we plotted? https://twitter.com/ohloowatoscene/status/1314673899670470656?s=21
18. A resolution was made with us present and the Speaker ended the meeting.
This is currently the resolution online for we all to read.

19. On coming out, we met a crowd x 20 of what we left, all irate. We explained to them the successful positive progress our sleep out protest has made but they demanded to see a high ranking official to talk to them.
20. We told them we have seen the speaker but we want to see the number 1 citizen @jidesanwoolu or his deputy despite the fact our protest has yielded the fact that the STATE HOA is moving to end SARS in Lagos!
21. The Deputy Governor came out, our numbers has doubled over and over and many of us poured our hearts out in cries. https://twitter.com/delemomodu/status/1314576697631682562?s=21
22. The crowd only wanted one thing/reassurance! https://twitter.com/mr_jagss/status/1314702248660873221?s=21
23. Then, Small Doctor Geng swooped in. @joeboyofficial also dropped in! https://twitter.com/ebelee_/status/1314531937445347328?s=21
24. Then, omo, I turned into Marlian President.
I tried to control the crowd but all the crowd wanted was #EndSARS! https://twitter.com/notjustsalmanpr/status/1314532509833670660?s=21

However, we are only in Lagos. We have succeeded in getting our honorables to a resolution. The next stage is implementation stage.
And that is what we await!
Get your honorables in every state to to move a motion for #EndSARS

Nobody plotted with anyone.
We had 3 rules of engagements.
Consultation
Consolidation
Confrontation.
No sane person will confront after you have consulted successfully.

No sane person will confront after you have consulted successfully.
And I dare say that our consultation that has led to the resolution made in the HOA today deserves some accolades!
What is left is, how do we move from here?
Able lawyers should speak up please
