“It Is The Legitimate Right Of Citizens To Protest” – Lagos State Govt Secretary

Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the Secretary to the Lagos State Government, says that, while citizens have the right to make their dissatisfaction known through protest, destruction of properties and other kinds of violence, will not be allowed in the state.

She therefore implored Lagosians to protest peacefully, and also, to avoid any demonstration that could cause reoccurrence, of the 2020 protest, of which public properties were destroyed.

While speaking in Alausa, the Lagos State Secretariat, she said:

“This is the state that does not owe any pensioner a Kobo. If you retired today, you should be expecting your pension immediately.”

“The Lagos State Government is doing so much. Is it the Ilera Eko, the New Insurance Medical Schemes, the university we are building, the blue line rail and others? It is a legitimate right for citizens to protest, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

“The only thing people should worry about is that we do not want violence because the peace we enjoy in Nigeria now and the development we are seeing, particularly in Lagos State should not be destroyed.”
