President Muhammadu Buhari says he told Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, to tell residents of the state to “walk” after buses were burnt during the #EndSARS protest.

In October 2020, demonstrations against police brutality were hijacked, leading to razing of vehicles and buildings across the country. Several vehicles under the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) scheme in Lagos were also burnt.

Following the incident, Sanwo-Olu had paid a visit to Buhari with a photo album of the destruction recorded in the state during the protests.

Speaking in an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Friday, Buhari said he told the Lagos governor that the federal government didn’t have the funds to replace the burnt buses.

“Look at the #EndSARS incident in Lagos. The previous governor of Lagos state bought 200 buses to complement the transportation in Lagos. And he built a complex. But they went and burnt them,” Buhari said.

“The present governor made an album and came to see me. I said ‘Thank you very much’. I took the album, put it in my archives and I told him to tell the Lagosians to walk, because we don’t have the money.

“After an administration bought over 200 buses, for some people to come and burn it? So, let them walk.”

After he allowed it to go south by not addressing during the protest by can now grant interview when he see his government is loosing face in the international community

Commentor:
You lot are hypocrites.

Address people so they can as always twist it out of context and use it as the pretext for anarchy.

Try again.

Freestainworld:
Yorubas are not Fulanis, so Buhari don't give a Bleep if you are not from his tribe, but you guys voted him out of sentiment to spite the Igbos, now the results are coming out, my candid advice, just be patient, two yrs is around the corner, if by 2023 you decides to get brain, fine, you guys decides other wise, we continue with the suffer

PVision2020:
Buhari simply doesn't care about anyone...
That's the more reason people must be careful in what they do and say, because if trouble comes Bubu will just stay aloof. For about 2 to 3 days after the Lekki incident, there was anarchy every where, I was expecting a state of emergency in Lagos and some selected states, but it was obvious the FG intentionally stayed aloof so that states that were initially sympathetic to the protesters may reap the rewards of their perceived folly. Governor's where helpless, the soldiers were just in their barracks while the police were no where to be found, Mushin was on fire while major army Barracks just a stone throw in Oshodi and Yaba were watching the state burn.

If you like come up with another violent protest...you're just doing yourself, E no move Buhari one bit. Burn all the infrastructures and kill all your people, Buhari won't blink. Trend #Buharimustgo globally OYO is your case.
