Member of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry, Segun Awosanya better known as Segalink has accepted the state’s Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s invitation for a peace walk.
Gatekeepers News reports that the rights 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 has said he will join Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in the proposed Peace Walk, which has been rejected by some others.
Sanwo-Olu while addressing a press conference said the steps are being taken to herald the healing of Lagos to bring closure to the last year’s EndSARS protests and the Lekki Toll Gate incident.
Awosanya said he will join Sanwo-Olu for the Peace Walk if he is in Nigeria at the time of the walk because he is more concerned about a peaceful society.
Segalink said this while speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television
“Because I am an advocate for peace, justice, equity and fairness, I will walk with anybody who wants peace,” Segalink said.
He added that the Sanwo-Olu-led administration is doing everything possible to ensure peace in Lagos and the government should be encouraged for a peaceful society.
He said the decision of Lagos State Government based on its White Paper to accept 11 recommendations, reject one, accept six with modifications and forward 14 to the Federal Government for consideration out of the 32 recommendations made by the Judicial Panel of Inquiry, is a good development that should be encouraged.
Awosanya said, “injustice is what we should insist must be corrected” and going by the White Paper released by the Lagos State Government, some of the issues raised in the report of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry have been addressed.
He said the decision of the Lagos State Government to forward to the Federal Government, the recommendation of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry that October 20 should be made a national day is commendable.
Awosanya also advised that those who are dissatisfied with the Lagos State Government’s White Paper should approach the court to express their grievances against the government decision.
