Deputy Majority Leader Lagos state House of Assembly, Hon. Noheem Adams, has thrown his weight behind the governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on the ongoing efforts to find lasting solution to the #EndSARS protest.
Reacting to the newly constituted state government judicial panel of inquiry and restitution, to look into cases of abuse and brutality by policemen attached to the SARS unit of the Nigerian Police, the lawmaker representing Eti-Osa constituency 1, the epicenter of the #EndSARS protest stated that it is time to adopt a peaceful approach to the agitations.
He said: “At this stage, all stakeholders, particularly the #EndSARS protesters should take advantage of the window opened by the state government to address their demands.
No matter the level of vexation, we can’t rule out dialogue in a democratic polity. Let the youths come forward with their demands and suggestions on how to reform the police to better serve the people.
Governor Sanwo-olu needs to be commended because he has consistently shown sincerity and commitment to the EndSARS protest.
He visited the victims of the Lekki shooting at the hospitals, and promised to set up an inquiry into the shooting. He is also the first governor to inaugurate a judicial panel of inquiry to look into SARS impunity.
With all these, the governor has proved to all that he can be trusted. So, I call on our youths to eschew violence, and work in partnership with Lagos state government to find lasting solution to the situation,” Adams said.
