Amid uneasy calm over the controversial EndSars panel report, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has called for harmony, extending an invite to youths for a peace walk to engender healing.
He spoke on Tuesday in a live broadcast held at the State House, Alausa, on his government’s position on the recommendations of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on EndSARS submitted a fortnight ago.
Sanwo-Olu said Lagos State deserved true healing after the disturbances that trailed last year’s protests against police brutality.
He said only sustenance of harmony could guarantee the realisation of aspirations of all residents.
He requested ‘A Walk for Peace’ in December to herald the healing of the land, extending an open invitation to the youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students and the media.
He specifically invited Folarin Falana (Falz), Debo Adebayo (Mr. Marcaroni), Dele Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya (Segalinks), Adedotun (Just Detoun), Seun Kuti, Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu and Commander of Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Yinka Egbeyemi and others to join him in the “historic march for our dear Lagos.”
“Nobody will build this city for us. Let us show the world who we are. We are Lagosians.
“A people of great renown, driven by the irrepressible spirit of Lagos.
“It is a testimony to our strength and resilience as a people that, despite the huge losses incurred because of these terrible incidents, we have bounced back, with our economy as vibrant and virile as ever.
“I have no doubt whatsoever that our prospects are as bright as ever and the best lies ahead of Lagos State and Nigeria,” he enthused.
