The Lagos State Government has announced that the planned nationwide protests in August are within citizens’ rights, as stated by Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the Secretary to the state government.
She emphasized the importance of peaceful protests and urged demonstrators to avoid violence and destruction.
Salu-Hundeyin also mentioned that while protesting is a legitimate right, there is no need for protests in Lagos as the state has taken care of 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”.
