THE Mayor of the Egbe-Idimu LCDA, Hon. Kunle Sanyaolu Olowoopejo (KSO) has appealed to the residents, especially the youths of the council area to shun any plan to destroy the heritage, assets, and investments in Lagos State under the guise of a peaceful protest.
He made this appeal during the stakeholders meeting held yesterday at the Area M Police Command, Idimu.
The council helmsman reminded the youths of the disaster that erupted during the END SARS protest, which was hijacked by those who intentionally planned to use the protest to destroy Lagos State and set the economy of the State backwards.
He called the attention of the youths to all the historical monuments, financial investments, public utilities, and other structures that were destroyed in the protest, especially the BRT buses and one of the best hospitals situated on Lagos Island, which was designed to address serious health and medical challenges and save the people the expenses of travelling abroad but was destroyed during the protest.
The council Boss appealed for calm and urged the residents to be patient as President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is making efforts to make life more meaningful for Nigerians, stabilise the economy, and address the current hardship in the country.
He also advised the youths not to frustrate the giant strides of the Chief Security Officer of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, as he is striving hard to make Lagos a smart city and one of the most vibrant economic cities in the world, with the provision of magnificent public facilities, constant palliatives, and infrastructural development.
The council Boss then urged the residents to resist any form of persuasion to join the planned protest as the Government is on the right path towards making the country a great Nation.
The gathering also had the Numero Uno of Police in Lagos State, CP. Adegoke M. Fayoade, traditional rulers, community leaders, market men & women, artisans, youths, and other concerned stakeholders in attendance.
