December 01, (THEWILL) – A former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has described Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s White Paper on the report by the EndSARS panel as “outlandish, defeatist, insensitive, lacking the basic tenet of accountability and decency which ought to have guided such sensitive issue as the Lekki tragedy”.
This is contained in a statement he released on Wednesday. He said, “It is at best plastic and gestural, devoid of genuine human concern and sincere leadership”.
Accorsing to him, the Lagos state government stands indicted for the unfortunate incident.
“Sanwo-Olu perhaps may be able to bring a decent closure to the blood of the innocent that yet cry for justice by apologizing to the families of the bereaved, pay them compensation and immediately scrap the two illegal toll gates and erect a monument in eternal remembrance of those who were cut down unjustly. Nothing else will suffice,” George said.
