You're telling me that anyone can demolish a building without consent, abandoning health and safety protocols? And what's astonishing is that you're admitting to incompetence, especially in a developed area.
CLARIFICATION ON DEMOLITION OF PROPERTY
The Lagos State Government is compelled to address the recent allegations made by Mr. Peter Obi regarding the demolition of a property belonging to his brother. We wish to categorically state that the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) or any other arm of the Lagos State Government did not carry out the said demolition.
Dr. Olajide Abiodun Babatunde, Special Adviser, eGIS & Urban Development, who supervises LASBCA, has confirmed that the agency was not involved in the demolition. We find it disturbing that Mr. Peter Obi would make such allegations without verifying the facts.
The Lagos State Government is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the safety and security of all residents. We will not tolerate any acts of lawlessness or violations of extant laws. Any individual or group found involved in such acts will be brought to justice.
We urge the public to disregard Mr. Peter Obi's claims and rest assured that the Lagos State Government will continue to work tirelessly to maintain law and order in our great state. We will not be swayed by baseless allegations or attempts to discredit our efforts.
Furthermore, we have directed the Permanent Secretary, Office of Urban Development, Arc. Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, FNIA, to request a full investigation by the Lagos State Building Control Agency into this matter. This investigation will help clarify the circumstances surrounding the demolition and ensure that any necessary actions are taken.
The Lagos State Government welcomes everyone to live and work in the state, and we assure all residents of our continued commitment to their safety and well-being.
Signed
Mr. Gbenga Omotoso
Honourable Commissioner, Information & Strategy
Lagos State Government

Any country where pupils get lined up on the streets, much less in the rain, to welcome a president on a supposed condolence visit after the killing of over 200 citizens is not a normal country.
Any president who allows this is not a normal president; any state governor who allows this is not normal too.
What happened today was an abnormality of the most abhorrent class. I repeat, we are not a normal country, neither are we governed by a normal president. The Benue State governor is not normal too.
Some things should never happen and this was one of them!
This guy and his cronies were bragging online about how much they appreciated Tunde's work, only to later line up kids and splash muddy water on them from his convoy.
Despite the state government declaring today a public holiday, pupils and students in Makurdi, Benue State, were asked to line the roads to welcome the president, braving poor weather conditions, with cars splashing water on some of them.
"So we have this kind of security while people are being k!dnåpped daily in Nigeria?"🙆🧎

It’s sad that we don’t have unified ideals that allows us to determine what is right or wrong as a nation. These days, it’s all about tribe, religion and party affiliation. It’s a dangerous and slippery slope.
Nigerians blame government for everything.
We needed this rain ☔️and it
happened, only for transporters to use
this as a means of extorting people.
Lagos is not for the weak at all.....
