Fair enough, the governor has spoken, but will this speech prevent horrendous act from happening again when next the first lady visits?
When the first lady came into Lagos on Thursday, it brought Lagos to
standstill and this was what the Lagos state Governor said about it on Friday
April 13th.
Lagosians were needlessly inconvenienced yesterday
(Thursday). It dawned on me the need for public officers generally to be more
sensitive to the people we serve.
It is particularly worrisome that this is not an elected
person. I think we all must check how security agencies use the movement of
high officers, especially VIPs, to disrupt citizens and taxpayers, whose money
were used to fuel all the vehicles and all the apparatus that we used to block
the roads against them.
It is an issue that calls for greater sensitivity. I
understand the need to protect the VIPs, but it must be done in a way that it
does not inconvenience anybody.
It should not get to the level that we close the roads in
the state because VIPs want to pass.
If they let us know earlier, traffic can be managed and
citizens here respect their leaders and they will gladly allow them to go. I
don’t think they deserve to be kept on the road in a standstill for five
hours.”
Well said............
