Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has been taken to the cleaners by famous journalist, Kadaria Ahmed for the recent demolition of some houses in Eric Moore, Surulere, Lagos.

She took to her Twitter page to lambast the governor, she wrote;

“Watching the demolishing of poor peoples homes at Eric Moore by a Lagos taskforce. I am disappointed in Babajide Sanwo-Olu and all other Nigerian cities must stop their anti-poor policies. Before evicting people should we not provide low cost housing?”

Her tweet has generated controversy on social media as many Lagosians have joined the thread to lambast the governor and condemn the action of the Lagos State Government.

They tweeted respectively; “Please, stress that low-cost housing very well. What they call low-cost housing in this city is about N11m the last time I checked.”

“Irresponsibility everywhere, no social norm and such problem will never be erased from our lands easily, seeing the responses here too.”

“The poor masses are pawns, and the government uses them during elections and tosses them away like dirt….welcome to Lagos. The evicted victims join the area boys, prostitutes and rape victims in Lagos….it’s the sad way we live in Lagos.”

“If governors in states like Zamfara have been doing the needful, we will not have people flooding into Lagos and building shanties. This way, there will be no shanties to demolish.”

“Even the almighty Lekki is a shanty, an eyesore. Government’s policy in Lagos must reflect the pulse of the people if it’s to achieve great things. People need to understand Lagos is just not a place you come and settle anywhere, anyhow.”

“It is about time Lagos hold other state governments to account. The irresponsible thieving leadership in the states across the country is responsible for the large population of slum dwellers in Lagos. What is a Kogi indigene, who is not working for the federal government, or a company (in Lagos) doing in Lagos?.”

“That place was never meant for anyone coming to Lagos without a place to stay or reside. When one comes, he brings another and so on. You need to know how robbers have been using that place and many other places in Lagos as a hideout.”
