Let me use this occasion to extend an open invitation to our youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students and the media as well as other stakeholders to join me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the governor invited Falana, Adebayo, Dele Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya (Segalink), Adedotun (Just Detoun), Seun Kuti; Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu; and Commander of Rapid Response Squad CSP Yinka Egbeyemi and others to join him in the \u201chistoric march for our dear Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs an administration, we are determined that the next steps that will be taken in this process of coming to terms with the events of October 2020, must bring closure to a painful episode in the history of our state, with the release of the White Paper later today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A youth protester, who was also invited by the governor for a walk, Awosanya, lauded Sanwo-Olu for his \u201cleadership\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>@segalink tweeted, \u201c@jidesanwoolu has shown leadership with this matured response and we hope the WhitePaper will mirror his sentiment. We all want closure, Justice and healing for our society. The experience of 20th October 2020 must never be repeated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But reacting, the younger Falana, who tweeted via @falzthebahdguy, described the peace walk as a \u201cjoke\u201d, insisting that justice must be served for all victims of police brutality.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Adebayo, who tweeted via @mrmacaronii, said he was not ready for any walk, adding that the last \u201cwalk\u201d he had, he was stripped naked and dehumanised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI humbly decline the Invitation of Mr Governor. The Government itself set up a panel. The panel has made recommendations. I believe that genuine peacemaking will begin by first implementing the recommendations of the panel. Then, we can begin to trust the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, I\u2019m not at war with anyone. Not with the government, police or politicians. All we are asking is that our leaders place value on our lives as citizens and lead us with love, fairness, truth and justice, to enable all Nigerians live a better life in peace and unity,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Seun Kuti while rejecting the invitation said, there can&#8217;t be peace without justice.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some EndSARS campaigners including Folarin Falana aka Falz, Debo Adebayo aka Mr Marcaroni and Afro-beat crooner, Seun Kuti have rejected the invite by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":89367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
