Don’t Force Lagos Govt to Regret Accommodating Non-Lagosians — Monarch Threatens Nigerian Protesters

Oba Lukman Adebambo, the Gbadewolu of Araromi in Lagos, has issued a warning against protests in the state, emphasizing the potential damage to infrastructure.

The monarch suggested that the upcoming protests might be organized by non-indigenes and reminded residents of Lagos’ accommodating nature.

Oba Adebambo stated, “Whenever there is a protest, infrastructure in Lagos State bears the brunt. People should remember that Lagos State accommodates all and indigenes should not be made to regret their accommodative gesture.

“We will, henceforth, not tolerate destruction of infrastructure under the guise of protest.”

Oba Adebambo urged the agitators to seek peaceful and constructive ways to express their grievances.

“It is true that there is hardship in the country, but it is not limited to Nigeria, other countries are also facing similar experiences,” he told The Nation.

He urged agitators to seek peaceful and constructive ways to express their grievances, acknowledging the widespread hardship but cautioning that protests could escalate into conflicts.

He added, “Protest is not going to solve the crisis at hand. People should remember what happened during the last #EndSARS protest, a lot of things were destroyed, and lots of companies and government properties were destroyed.

“These are also part of what is affecting us today; the destroyed properties were built with public funds, and the money that were supposed to be used for other projects are being used to refurbish those properties.”

The monarch assured that the administration of Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu is aware of the current economic challenges and is working to reduce food prices and other commodities.
