In a statement signed by their spokesman, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, yesterday, the elders, who operate under the aegis of Prominent Lagos State Indigenes, warned that with the volatile economic and security situation in the country, particularly Lagos, it would be suicidal to embark on such exercise.
“We are in perilous times, most Lagosians are very angry and hungry. There is acute poverty in the land and the atmosphere is very charged and tense. The peace walk may trigger violent reactions. Let hungry sleeping dogs lie. Not at this period when most Lagosians are looking for how to put one square meal on the table and how to celebrate the Christmas season,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, a coalition of civil society organisations, Defend Lagos, has cautioned that any attempt to sabotage the economic activities of Lagos State through the narrative of #LekkiMassacre would be resisted. This was contained in a statement signed by leaders of Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate , Nelson Ekujumi; Activists For Good Governance, Declan Ihekaire; Centre Against Injustice and Domestic Violence , Gbenga Soloki; Coalition of Oodua Self Determination Groups , Dayo Ogunlana and Grassroots Democratic Initiative, Razaq Obasola, among others.
Our elites are just the problem of this generation. They've wasted theirs
Please someone tell jidesanwoolu that the advice of our forefathers to obey our elders does NOT apply to Mohammed_Lai. The truth sets free but lies destroy. LekkiMassacre is a FACT. Don’t let the blood of the dead be against you. endsars
