Lagos' Governor Is Asking Citizens To Donate Towards The Abule Ado Explosion Relief Fund | Zikoko!

It’s safe to say that Lagos state, governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has been making anyhow decisions lately. First, it was the decision to ban Keke Napeps and Okadas in certain parts of the state (even though a majority of the population depended on them for movement), now it’s the set up of a GoFundMe account for the victims of the Abule Ado explosion that occurred on the 15th of March 2020.

I wish this was a joke.

It makes NO sense that THE GOVERNMENT is actually asking IT’S TAX-PAYING CITIZENS to contribute towards the relief of a disaster caused by the government’s negligence & unpreparedness. It’s N2 billion! Sanwo-Olu is actually trying to make us believe that Lagos’ government cannot afford N2 billion. The same Lagos that generated N263.25 billion in the first half of 2019 alone

.

Needless to say, Nigerians are NOT having it.
