Locking Down Lagos, Abuja For Two Weeks Dangerous, Adegboruwa Tells Buhari by nairavsdollars(f): 5:46pm On Apr 02, 2020
Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and human rights activist, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to end the restriction of movement in Lagos and Abuja by Friday April 3.

In a statement he personally signed made available to DAILY INDEPENDENT, Adegboruwa said Abuja, being the capital of Nigeria and Lagos being the commercial nerve centre, can’t afford to be under lockdown for two weeks.

“On March 29, 2020, the President directed the lockdown of Lagos, Ogun States and Abuja. Everything became paralyzed from March 30, 2020, as movements of persons were restricted, save those on essential services. The concomitant effect of this has been very catastrophic indeed, especially for daily wage earners.

“No doubt the President meant and acted well, though a bit late, but it is not in doubt that the action of the President was the best in the circumstances of our present realities, even though it had no legal backing.

“Having now reviewed the situation of the COVID 19 pandemic as it affects Nigeria, it is clear that Lagos State has saved the nation of this calamity through its proactive measures, which have now been adopted by most other States. In this regard, I commend Governor Babajide Sanwoolu and in particular Prof Akin Abayomi, the Commissioner for Health, for their gallant efforts towards arresting the spread of the pandemic.

“Since the President announced the lockdown, there have been different interpretations and implementations, leading to abuses by security agents. The economic hardship being faced by the people is horrendous and the so-called cash distribution has no real value to the people.

“As Lagos State has now declared 100% recovery rate, and it is the most affected State, there is need to review the lockdown, to ease the burden of the people. The measures already put in place by Governor Sanwoolu before the lockdown were effective enough to combat the spread and they should be retained, but without restriction of movement. The banks and markets should open and people should be allowed to move around, to eke out a living for themselves.

“I therefore appeal to the President to lift the lockdown and allow the Governors and Minister of the affected areas to determine the scope of measures to be taken in preventing further spread.

“Abuja, being the capital of Nigeria and Lagos being the commercial nerve center, both cities cannot remain under lockdown beyond one week.

“I commend the President for the love demonstrated for the well-being of the people and urge him to end the lockdown from Friday, April 3, 2020.”

This Man is a disgrace to the body of SANs. On Tuesday he was making mouth that the president is wrong and does not have the power to lockdown the states. Now see him acting like a reasonable person.

Abuja, yes. But Lagos, hell no!

Even after Covid 19, Lagos needs to be shut down for an additional six months. Maybe that will bring back the sanity of those living there...

There are just so many mad people living in Lagos and the problem is, they don't even know that they are mad.

7 inside every 10 people living in Lagos are mad.
