#ENDSARS: SANWO-OLU CALLS FOR CALM AS PANEL WHITE PAPER IS SET TO BE RELEASED

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that the importance of peace and harmony in the developmental processes of societies, States and Countries can never be over-emphasised.

The Governor said this in a State-wide broadcast monitored by Eons intelligence on Tuesday, in response to the unauthorised leak of the panel of Enquiry Report on #EndSARS.

He noted that Lagos State deserves true healing after the disturbances that trailed last year’s protests against Police brutality. The Governor said only the sustenance of harmony can guarantee the realisation of aspirations of all residents.


"The State is currently faced with the hard choice of restoring harmony or doing itself a great harm. I appeal to Lagosians to reject those fueling anarchy and suspicion, clinging to unsubstantiated belief that carries no weight of verifiable evidence and choosing emotion over hard facts."


"Our administration is ready to facilitate better communication between the youths and the State’s security machinery to resolve issues before they become intractable."


"To quicken recovery and engender a better understanding, I will lead ‘A Walk for Peace’ in December to herald the healing of the land."


"I have extended an open invitation to the youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students and the media as well as other stakeholders to join me in this Peace Walk."


"Let me reiterate that nobody will build this city for us. Let us show the world who we are. We are Lagosians. A people of great renown, driven by the irrepressible spirit of Lagos. It is a testimony to our strength and resilience as a people that, despite the huge losses incurred because of these terrible incidents, we have bounced back, with our economy as vibrant and virile as ever", the Governor stated.


He said there is no doubt whatsoever that there are bright prospects and that the best lies ahead of the State and Nigeria.


Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that his administration is committed to a process that would bring a closure to what he described as a painful episode in the history of the State. 


He said the White Paper will be issued later today, as part keeping to the Government's earlier promise to release it within a period of two weeks.
