The difference between GRV and many politicians is simple. He understands the science, architecture and urban planning behind the problems Lagos faces daily. Flooding included.

[Fola baby @BarakatFolasade]

Every flooded street in Lagos is a reminder that infrastructure development cannot be separated from proper urban planning.

[Oluyode samuel @OluyodeS]

@BarakatFolasade When an architect talks about flooding, perhaps we should listen. GRV understands that solving flooding requires more than clearing drains after the rain has fallen.

[Fola baby @BarakatFolasade]

GRV has repeatedly spoken about drainage systems, environmental sustainability and proper city planning. Today, Lagosians are living the consequences of ignoring those conversations.

[Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour @GRVlagos]

This is deeply troubling.

When those in power begin to use the courts to shrink the democratic space rather than expand it, every Nigerian should be concerned. Democracy only works when citizens have genuine choices, not when one party appears determined to run unopposed.

The APC should have enough confidence in its popularity (as it claims to have) to face opponents at the polls instead of weaponizing the judiciary against the opposition.

Nigerians deserves free, fair and genuinely competitive elections. And this continuous abuse of our institutions for partisan advantage will erode public trust and put our democracy at risk.

[Oluyode samuel @OluyodeS]

The conversation should move beyond blame and focus on accountability. If the same environmental problems persist year after year, citizens have every right to ask why existing policies are failing.

[End Genocide in Nigeria✊ @adebanwo6]

Like GRV said, A Leader's first instinct is to fix,
Why is Tokunbo Wahab angry that people are saying Lagos is dirty and smelling instead of him to do his job and fix it

Tokunbo is the worst Minister of environment in Lagos history, All these APC people are just failures

@yomcy11 A city of over 20 million people cannot rely on emergency responses every rainy season. Lagos needs long-term planning, data-driven policies, and competent execution.

[Adeyomi Adelokiki @yomcy11]

Imagine if Lagos had spent the last decade formalizing the informal waste sector instead of treating waste pickers as an afterthought. Cleaner streets, more jobs, better recycling, and less pressure on government resources. Vision matters.

[Monife Yoruba @MonifeYoruba]

Heavy rain is natural. Homes submerged under water every rainy season is not. GRV understood that the real issue is drainage, urban planning and enforcement.

Dear Lagosian pklease take note, before some of you will come and cry that they don't tell you they want to repair road. Better Lagos is our collective activities.

This is your sign to get that PVC!!!

Your Excellency, unsurprisingly, this statement is an admission of failure, not a solution.

Lagosians do not need periodic emergency evacuations of mountains of refuse. What they need is a functional waste management system that prevents waste from accumulating in the first place.

For years, residents have endured overflowing dumps, uncollected refuse, blocked drainage channels, and worsening environmental conditions despite billions of naira allocated to environmental management.

The fact that you now have to “direct an immediate scale-up” after waste has already overwhelmed communities is an utter failure of leadership.

Indeed, Lagos generates over 13,000 tonnes of waste daily today, just as it did yesterday, last month, and last year. This is not a surprise. It is a known reality that should be planned for through efficient collection, waste sorting, recycling infrastructure, transfer stations, waste-to-energy investments, and transparent performance management of operators.

Like your commissioner, you cannot continue to shift responsibility to citizens to “bag their waste properly” when many communities are left without reliable and affordable waste collection services. Rightly, Citizens have a responsibility to dispose of waste properly, but government has an even greater responsibility to provide the infrastructure and systems that make proper disposal possible.

Lagos cannot continue operating reactive clean-up exercises and public relations statements whenever refuse piles become impossible to ignore.

Lagos deserves a modern, accountable, and sustainable waste management system: one that measures success not by the number of trucks deployed after a crisis, but by the absence of the crisis itself.

Again, Your Excellency, after seven years in office, why is Lagos still battling a problem that should have been solved through competent planning, execution, and oversight?

I guess the answer is obvious: if e didn’t dey, e didn’t dey.

It’s really amazing how enduring some of the ideas @GRVlagos has campaigned on since 2019. He’s now arguably the most consequential opposition figure in Lagos since Funso Williams.

This is him talking about the BRT lane with @Jollz in the video below.

[Adeyomi Adelokiki @yomcy11]

Your PVC is more than a card. It's your voice, your power and your opportunity to influence the future. Don't wait until election season to start looking for it.

This protest is not about politics. It is about children who should be in classrooms and teachers who should be teaching instead of being held by kidnappers.
