The Heat Is On Sanwa-Olu In Lagos. Those Arsonists In The Spare Parts Market, Unwittingly Damaged His Reelection Bid
The Oasis Reporters
March 9, 2023
When the arsonists in Lagos set the spare parts market ablaze in the wee hours of the morning to cause incalculable losses to the traders who are believed to be largely Labour Party supporters that are from all corners of Nigeria, they thought that they were harming the chances of the Labour Party.
It was easy to guess where, or who they were from.
Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where people from diverse states have governed. Not a bad thing really.
But ignoring the aborigines completely was a wrong thing. How is it that since 1999 till date, governance in Lagos that has produced great governors like Brig. Mobolaji Johnson, Gbolahan Mudashiru etc, now get only governors from different parts of Nigeria and none of them has been an indigene ?
With the raging inferno behind there, citizens are now digging into the records and report cards of the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwaolu.
He’s doing panicky public relations stunts.
3. He auctioned a struggling boy’s bus. All appeals to show mercy, fell on deaf ear. The boy’s mom cried out her eyes, until a good Samaritan wiped their tears. Four days to election & he is releasing the cars impounded by his government to their owners. Lessons will be learned!! pic.twitter.com/460wd53kvs

Like it or not, somebody definitely either directly or indirectly influenced the army to come to Lekki and shoot to kill peaceful protestors.
See the encircled part of one of the findings.
Who ordered the shootings to take place?
Sanwo-olu was the one who invited the military to open fire on innocent Lagosians at the Lekki Tollgate. @jidesanwoolu, your days in office are numbered. #EndSARS 💔 pic.twitter.com/nPpZvmZusC

Questions are being asked.
6. He closed a bridge since last year & caused undue hardships to Lagosians for months, he only reopened that a few days ago. He is releasing the cars, buses + taxis he impounded from taxpayers & struggling cabbies in 4 years, he is doing so in less than four days to his ouster.

The heat is definitely on. Folks are examining the four years of Sanwaolu who became governor because the powers in Lagos then decided to cut short the pleas of then state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, who was desperately begging for the reelection ticket. Even all the APC governors went to see the current president-elect, Alhaji Bola Tinubu, Jagaban Borgu. They reportedly prostrated and begged him to let the then Governor run for a second term. He refused. Well, power belongs to God alone.
Now his choice is facing scrutiny over his conduct.
1. Sanwo-Olu has become an influencer. Lagosians now see more of him lately, more than they saw him in his entire 4 Opaque Years. But Garri does not need advert, good name is better than Gold! All his benevolence in less than 7 days to his ouster, is a Romance Scam taken too far.

Burning of people’s homes or shops while they sleep is evil and counter productive. I watched it happen a lot in Kano, a beautiful city that I lived in from 1983, the year that Gbadebo Vivour Rhodes was born. While shop owners were in front of their shops attending to customers on France Road, Sabon Gari, arsonists bore holes through the walls from the back and set all the shops on fire.
The Igbo traders cried to high heavens. It was the same script as Nigerians are currently seeing in Lagos. Accuse the Igbos of one imaginary insult and set their things on fire.
Well, good people rallied round the Igbo traders. Don’t be surprised that some of the good people were Hausas who hated what their area boys were doing out of envy.
And the Igbo and other Southern traders rebounded and moved on.
Why should this same obnoxious character rear its ugly head in Lagos even when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu had warned that nobody should fight for him?
Now, who takes the heat ?
14. APC Lagos is another Nazi Regime happening already. All the bigotry toward GRV oxygenated his popularity to the good people of Lagos State. You cannot push the people to the wall & expect them not to react, Lagosians are no Stoics. They will respond appropriately on Saturday.

16. The APC said “My Lagos is NOT your Lagos,” but GRV said “OUR Lagos!!”

So who would you vote for? Would you vote for Democracy, for Liberalism & Open Finance, & Civil liberties symbolized by Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour? pic.twitter.com/9pRQe7yTC2
Governance style is being questioned and the underdog is now on top of the building plan as architect for a new Lagos.
17. Or would you vote for Opaqueness, Fascism, Thuggery, Wanton Attacks, the Alpha Beta, Tribalism, Crass dereliction of duties, Lies & the Lekki Tollgate Massacre Denials? Sanwolu’s list of sins is endless!

LAGOS!!, choose ye who shall serve you? What say you? Sanwo-Olu or GRV? pic.twitter.com/Kjc485SVQx
Nigerians would see how it pans out on the 18th of March, 2023.
