President Muhammadu Buhari said he told Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu to tell Lagosians to walk after buses were burnt during the #EndSARS protest.
The President during an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Friday, referred to the incident during the #EndSARS protest where several vehicles under the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) scheme in Lagos were burnt.
Following the incident, Sanwo-Olu had paid a visit to Buhari with a photo album of the destruction recorded in the state during the protests.
“Look at the #EndSARS incident in Lagos. The previous governor of Lagos state bought 200 buses to complement the transportation in Lagos. And he built a complex. But they went and burnt them,” Buhari said.
“The present governor made an album and came to see me. I said ‘Thank you very much’. I took the album, put it in my archives and I told him to tell the Lagosians to walk, because we don’t have the money.
“After an administration bought over 200 buses, for some people to come and burn it? So, let them walk.”
