It is no longer news that Lagos is currently literally on a shutdown as President Muhammadu Buhari embarks on a two-day working visit to the state.

Many say Buhari’s visit has more to do with the birthday of Bola Tinubu, former Governor of Lagos State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), than the commissioning of the Ikeja bus terminal constructed by Akinwumi Ambode, Governor of the state.

As a result of Buhari’s visit, many roads leading to the places he intends to visit have been blocked, local flights into and out of Lagos have been cancelled, leaving hundreds of Lagosians stuck in traffic along the few roads that are open to commuters. Many, seeing the seriousness of the traffic jam, opted to trek to their destinations, covering several kilometres on foot under the scorching sun.

A similar scenario played out in June and December 2012, when then President Goodluck Jonathan visited Lagos. As usual, roads were blocked and thousands stranded, and Nigerians took to twitter to vent their frustration.

Among the critics was Tolu Ogunlesi, the current Special Assistant to President Buhari on Social Media, who bashed Jonathan for apparently unleashing suffering and hardship on the ordinary people.

“Grumbling in Lagos as President Jonathan temporarily renames city ‘Car Park’,” Ogunlesi tweeted on June 1, 2012.
