Governance by Maliciousness Does No One Any Good – Ezekwesili Reacts to Demolition of Alaba Market Predominantly Occupied By Igbos
The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) had reportedly marked at least 17 buildings for demolition as far back as 2016.
Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has called out the Lagos State Government and its governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
She urged Sanwo-Olu to be transparent with the ongoing demolition of some distressed buildings at Alaba International Market.
Recall that the demolition of the marked structures began on Saturday, June 17.
The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) had reportedly marked at least 17 buildings for demolition as far back as 2016.
However, the demolition has sparked a backlash from the traders who insist that the exercise is politically motivated.
Reacting to the situation via Twitter, Ezekwesili called for transparency.
She wrote, “The Governor Sanwo-Olu-led @followlasg on Friday started the process of removing what it described as distressed buildings in the Alaba International Market in the Ojo Local Government Area”.
“I have a Policy advice for @jidesanwoolu that would be helpful for all sides and the public.
“Mr Governor, please immediately publish details of each destroyed building and the dateline of Due Process rules that were exhausted by your Government before it was “removed”.
“It will be wise for the Governor to take this counsel on Transparency and Full Disclosure since it would provide evidence to the public that this is not a vengeful political attack against the predominant Igbo community in Alaba Market.
“Let me also use this opportunity to really again advise the @followlasg and its cheerleaders including @officialABAT to be careful in persisting to brew a terribly toxic atmosphere against fellow citizens before, during, and after the 2023 elections.
“Governance by maliciousness does no one any good. A word is sufficient for only the wise.”
