Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has vowed not to allow hoodlums to hijack Thursday’s EndBadGovernance protest.
Sanwo-Olu assured protesters of adequate protection, stressing that the state police command has designated Gani Fawehinmi Park and Peace Park for protests.
The governor said these locations will be secured to protect protesters and prevent chaos.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this in a terse statement he issued on Wednesday.
According to the Lagos State governor: “We can do more, and we will. Reflecting on the tragic events of the EndSARS protest in 2020, it began peacefully but was later hijacked, resulting in immense destruction and loss.
“We will not allow history repeat itself. During the protests, we saw the destruction of valuable properties and institutions: Lagos High Court, 45 police stations, 12 local government offices, 7 fire stations, and the Forensic Centre, among others.
“The City Hall, Nigeria Ports Authority headquarters, and traditional rulers’ palaces were also destroyed.
“Malls, shops, offices, and hundreds of brand-new BRT buses were lost. Such devastation only sets us back economically and socially.
“Our goal is a peaceful and prosperous Lagos. We must avoid economic destabilisation that can make us poorer. Let’s unite, embrace dialogue, and build a peaceful, prosperous Lagos.
“To ensure safe and peaceful expression, the Police have designated Gani Fawehinmi Park and Peace Park for protests. These locations will be secured to protect our citizens and prevent chaos.
“Let’s work together to build a Lagos that is safe, secure, and prosperous for all. Our strength lies in our unity, and our future depends on maintaining peace and stability.”
