dc.description.abstractThe study was carried out to analyse the address presented by President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2020 Nigerian EndSARS protest. The researchers adopted the textual analysis method and applied Van Dijk’s triadic model to unravel the macrostructure, superstructure and microstructure of the address. Findings from the study revealed that, although, the macrostructures of the address were the 2020 EndSARS protest and the moves made by the government to meet the needs of teeming Nigerians, the speech was guilty of political claptrap. Findings also showed that the address had a good superstructure while the microstructure can best be said to be somewhere in between good and bad. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that the address, on the whole, straddles between good and bad and recommended, amongst others, that, the President should avoid indulging in political claptrapping in his subsequent addresses.
