Lagos 2019: Sanwo-Olu’s victory a hatchet job – Group

A pro-democracy group, Lagos Solidarity Forum, has raised the alarm that Lagos State was being pushed to the precipice by enemies of democracy in the state.

A statement signed and issued yesterday by the group’s convener, Comrade Mark Adebayo, said the state’s All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary which produced Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the party’s standard bearer was a hatchet job.

The statement said: “Every society that has ceased to exist starts from the point of aggravated injustice that provokes intractable anarchy.

“Unfortunately, Lagos State is being pushed in the direction of that precipice by forces which can best be described as, not only enemies of democracy, but enemies of the people. These same forces have been responsible for the mobile retrogression of Nigeria since 1999 that we have moved into civilian governance. Their weapons have been domination, imposition and brazen overthrow of the people’s mandate.

“The shameful shenanigan orchestrated by the APC governorship primary committee chaired by Clement Ebri, the former Cross River State governor erroneously thought to be a man of impeccable integrity was another hatchet’s job executed in the service of merchants of inhumanity and derogation of all elements of societal value.

“The time has come for Lagosians to rise up through a mass action to liberate ourselves.”
