Former Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has revealed that during the protest against police brutality in 2020, popularly known as EndSars, his family members met and asked him to resign.

Mohammed made this disclosure on Wednesday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.

He was reacting to his book, ‘Headlines and Soundbites: Media Moments that Defined an Administration.’

“Nigerian contemporary history would not be fully understood unless those who have been inside are allowed and encouraged to tell their own stories.

“This kind of book is actually for posterity. It’s to educate the public. It is also to inspire future leaders, because it’s not just about successes. There are some failures. Just a challenge for instance, like in this book, during the EndSars, some of the toughest moments in my life, when my family met, they had a meeting and asked me to resign.

“They asked me to resign because they were bullied online. They were bullied offline and their businesses were suffering. They said, look, wait a minute. We are not benefiting from this thing. So why are you exposing us? I had to sit them down and tell them it’s not as easy as they think,” he said.
