Popular Nigerian Rapper and actor, Folarin Falana, fondly called Falz, and skit maker, Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, have been advised not to accept the invitation for a ‘peace walk’ by the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Recall that Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday said he will lead the peace walk in the state in December “to herald the healing of the land.”
The governor also invited to be part of the peace walk the likes of Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya (Segalink), Adedotun (Just Detoun), singer Seun Kuti, Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu and Commander of Rapid Response Squad, CSP Yinka Egbeyemi amongst others.
This is as he disclosed that the White Paper concerning the report by the #EndSARS Panel in the state will be published on Tuesday.
However, while the invitees were yet to respond, some youths on Twitter had opposed the proposal made by the governor.
This is coming as they requested justice for those who were allegedly killed at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.
@mrfestusogun said, “In walking for peace, the first step must be admitting that what happened on the 20th day of October 2020 was a massacre. Thereafter, justice must be ensured for all victims and perpetrators.”
@williamsefe16, “U can’t walk for PEACE with bloodstained feet… No Justice no #PeaceWalk”
@Ayowolesanyaolu said, “We will respond to @jidesanwoolu’s ‘walk of peace’ with a ‘walk for justice’. There can never be ‘peace’ without justice, starting with the immediate prosecution of those who killed our colleagues on October 20, in line with panel recommendations.”
@jharmo said, “You killed our #EndSARS brothers and sisters on 20th October 2020 and still want to ‘walk peace’ with the rest of us who could be the next victim. @jidesanwoolu you get mind o! You can’t escape justice.”
@gabinshki said, “#EndSARS witnesses are currently being targeted and killed for testifying against the army. It would a betrayal of their bravery and their lives for @falzthebahdguy and @mrmacaronii to accept the Governor’s invite for a ‘Peace walk’. I hope they loudly reject such a proposal.”
