I speak not just as a governor, but as a father, brother and son.'' the governor tweeted

The governor added that he will be meeting with President Buhari in Abuja tomorrow October 13 over the EndSARS agitation.

The governor also mentioned that he will be meeting with the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, for the release of the protesters that were arrested.

''I am meeting with the Lagos CP. Protesters will be released and broader issues will be addressed in my meeting with the President tomorrow. Let us take a break from protests tomorrow and give us a chance to take tangible next steps.

The protesters will be released tonight. Their rights will not be violated. That, I assure you.''
