Political activist and member of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the Consolidated Report on General Police Brutality Cases and Report of Lekki Incident Investigation, Segun Awosanya a.k.a Segalink has revealed that he supports Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s ‘peace walk’ initiative.

The popular social media commentator and activist stated that he will be walking with anyone promoting peace.

It would be recalled that on Tuesday, November 30 Lagos State governor invited several #EndSARS activists including Segalink to a “Peace Walk”, as one of the steps towards closure and healing over last year’s EndSARS protests and the Lekki toll gate incident.

Unlike several #EndSARS activists who turned down Sanwo-Olu’s request, Segalink, who spoke from London, said he would have considered it if he was in Nigeria. He also claimed that it doesn’t stop him from criticising the Governor.

He said;

“Because I am an advocate for peace, justice, equity and fairness, I will walk with anybody who wants peace.

“There are no absolutes. Because I agree with some people on certain things does not mean I am in alignment with them. So if walk with the Governor today, it does not stop me from criticising the Governor.”

Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has admonished Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ‘tender his resignation’ after he clamoured for a ‘Peace walk’ as part of measures to heal residents of the states following the October 20, 2020 shooting incident at the Lekki tollgate.

During a press briefing on Tuesday, November 30, the Lagos State governor invited several socialites including renowned celebrities Falz, andMr. Macaroni to take part in the ‘peace walk’. An offer the aforementioned entertainers both declined.

Actor Uche Maduagwu who also reacted to the governor’s initiative via the social media platform, Instagram, said the first step to healing is for Governor Sanwo-Olu to “tender his resignation.”

Maduagwu also took a swipe at the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, dubbing him ‘InfoLinus’.

Here is what he published on his social media platform.

“Dear Governor Sanwo Olu, it is ridiculous inviting Lagosians to a preposterously and untimely shaped WALK FOR PEACE when 90% of The #Lagos EndSars Panel findings has not been attended to, when a whole Minister of FakeNews sorry InfoLinus, Mr Lie kunu Mohammed does not even accept that the panel findings and summation is RELIABLE and CREDIBLE to begin with and the Military seems to debunk the fact that more than NINE innocent #Lekki protesters were gruesomely killed with the combined effort of its lawless personnel and #Nigerian police?

@cnn and other media organizations were RIGHT all along, yet this same Governor thought otherwise like he did on #Okada ban and #IkoyiBuildingCollapse Sir, tender your RESIGNATION letter, that is the first step to HEALING Lagos, my people TRUE or False?”
