Ahead of the planned nationwide protests coming up in August, the Lagos State Government has declared that such demonstrations are within the rights of citizens, saying there is nothing wrong in it.

Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the Secretary to the state government stated this on Tuesday while meeting with the Secretaries to the Local Governments, SLGs.

She, however, cautioned the intending protesters to be wary that the protest does not turn violent and destructive.

According to her, even though protests are the citizens’ legitimate right, there is no need to protest in Lagos, stating that the state has done well for its citizens.

She said, “It is a legitimate right for citizens to protest, as there is nothing wrong in it, but people should be wary that it does not turn violent and destructive.

“Lagos State has done so much for its citizens that nobody in the state should stand up and say they are going to break anything.


“Sincerely, and I mean it; it is not because I am the Secretary of the State Government; I speak from my heart and God knows; there is no reason for anybody to cause any protests or riots or violence in Lagos State”.

Have the election losers got over the election loss?

How have they been behaving since the election loss, how many of their threats have been averted?

Should we now do because some people with genuine intentions of protesting and allow the sore election losers to cause chaos and confusion just to fulfill their evil wishes?.

If there is no protest, there won't be any gory story .

Prevention is far better than cure

The "No protest" guys would clash with the Obidients, and the mobile police would move in.

IamANigerianMan:
Me, protesting against government just one Year in the office is politically motivated.. I don't like TINUBU and I cannot vote him but let give two years to three years first.

muhammaduyusufu:
The gbajue master wants to sue. Lol.

Something to get the mob excited.

He would also be picked up for all his numerous lies that could have set the country on fire.

It's about the time the government stopped playing nice to the agulu fraud.

When 5 Governors, 15 Senators and 180 reps back the call for your release, then you know you have arrived, because that much elected officials have never back anyones release in the history of Nigeria

Timmi:
Useless armchair economist, go ahead and sue now. Who is stopping you.

waynetee:
You are obviously living in denial if you think any of this is comedy.
Go out and touch the grass

Some of the things Tinubu government has achieved in 14 months that got my attention.


1. The minimum wage has been raised to ₦70,000

2. The Federal Government has initiated and begun payment of student loans.

3. Every state in Nigeria had been getting a minimum of 50% more than they were getting under Buhari, some get more than 100% now.

4. Fuel importation has reduced by 51.4%

5.The Federal Government has initiated and begun payment of the ₦50,000 to more than 1 million people

6. The electricity has improved tremendously.

7. There is a serial development in agriculture in some northern states, Lagos to calabar highway etc.

Let's give him his flowers💐

Actually, this is ironic. If the APC, PDP, supreme Court justices, appeal court justices, retired justices like Odili e.t.c were to start suing Obidients, they would be the first to scream victimization. Lol.

The people are divided sir.forget about Edo..I thought last year elections thought you some political lessons.

A renowned political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, has threatened a N500 billion lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, over an allegation against him.


DAILY POST recalls that Onanuga accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and his supporters of being behind the planned nationwide protests scheduled for August.

The presidential aide alleged that Utomi and some other supporters of Obi are the organisers of the planned nationwide protests against hunger, naira devaluation and economic hardship in Nigeria.


But in a statement he signed on Monday, Utomi, a chieftain of the Labour Party, denied the allegation, saying he has been away from the country for a long time.

Pat Utomi advised Onanuga to withdraw his statement or provide evidence of his claims.

“If there is no evidence of Mr. Onanuga’s false assertion, I will assume it reasonable that the object is to water the ground for false treasonable felony charges that can result in the claim of one’s life. I intend to therefore proceed to the international criminal and other human rights courts if a reasonable explanation is not forthcoming.


“I will also have no choice but to institute a claim of N500 billion for fake news, hate speech and intent to procure State murder of an innocent citizen. If judicial capture makes justice problematic in Nigeria I expect that I can trust extra-national institutions and global human solidarity,” Utomi said.

Let me make it clear,APC wants to take Edo by any means

senatordave1:
Lol,apc has already won Edo.you of all people should know this

MrEverest:
You better talk about your state and stop behaving like a lunatic. Lagos indigenes support the protests, if you don’t like to, go back to your state!

Remman:
Very dumb question to describe Trump supporters as obidients.

DamnnNiggarr:


Those who spread falsehood against my principal, thinking that he will respond to them nor hold malice against them will wait till the second coming of Jesus Christ.
