Lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi, among those Lagos Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu invited to participate in a peace walk, has declined the
invitation.
“I do not walk in the company of murderers…#Enikure
#LekkiMassacre,” the lawyer tweeted on Wednesday morning.
Mr Sanwo-Olu, on whose invitation the Nigerian Army sent
soldiers to brutally disperse young protesters at the tollgate resulting in a
massacre, stressed that his administration was determined that the next steps
that will be taken in this process of coming to terms with the events of
October 2020, “must bring closure to a painful episode in the history of our
state.”
“In December, I will be leading ‘A Walk for Peace’ to herald
the healing of our land. Let me use this occasion to extend an open invitation
to our youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students
and the media as well as other stakeholders to join me,” said the Lagos
governor as he invited “Folarin Falana (Falz), Debo Adebayo (Mr Macaroni), Dele
Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi. Segun Awosanya (Segalinks), Adetoun (Just
Detoun), Seun Kuti, CP Hakeem Odunosu, CSP Yinka Egbeyemi,” to join in the
march.
“Join me on this historic march for our dear Lagos. Nobody
will build this city for us,” Mr Sanwo-Olu urged the listed individuals. “Let
us show the world who we are. We are Lagosians: people of great renown, driven
by the irrepressible spirit of Lagos.”
