Popular Nigerian content creator and activist, Debo Adedayo, known as Mr Macaroni, has taken a swipe at Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu after he tendered an apology concerning gridlock caused by Independence Bridge repair.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who paid a visit to the Independence Bridge, appealed to Lagosians to show understanding with the government.
He explained that the work going on at the bridge was to save the lives of its users, noting that the bridge has lasted for over 80 years.
Let’s think outside the box. If you don’t have business to do in Victoria Island in the next 2 to 3 weeks, conduct your business online and plan ahead,” he added.
Reacting to Sanwo-Olu’s appeal and suggestion, Macaroni said the difficulty Lagosians face as a result of work at the bridge showed the government’s poor consideration of citizens’ welfare.
If the government had any regard whatsoever for the people of Lagos, these measures and more extensive ones would have been taken before yesterday to make this process as painless as possible for the people.
There should have been adequate planning including a reasonable timeline for execution and proper information dissemination which would have prevented to some extent the unbearable hardship the people have to endure. This has happened only because this Government has no sense of responsibility to the people.
If The federal and state government cannot successfully collaborate on projects like these despite belonging to the same party, then it only confirms what we have always known about the quality of leadership,”.
