…Meets Sanwo-Olu in state House Marina
Ahmed Bola Tinubu, former Lagos state governor and national leader of the APC, on Saturday made his first public appearance days after an #EndSARS protest unrest slept across Lagos, leaving in its trail deaths and wanton destructions.
BIGPEN reports Tinubu had been out of public view for days with speculations making the around that he had fled the country before reappearing on Saturday.
Tinubu paid a visit to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at the State House in Marina, where he lamented the invasion and wanton looting of public and private assets in the state of late.
Addressing journalists after the meeting with the governor, Tinubu said he did not travel out of the country as reported by some sections of the media, Punch is reporting.
He told reporters that the purpose of his meeting with Sanwo-Olu was to ask him if he had ordered soldiers to attack #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday.

The former Lagos governor said he asked Sanwo-Olu “if he didn’t order the attack, who ordered the attack? That’s all I needed from him.”

Tinubu has come under fire in the last few days over the Lekki incident as rampaging hoodlums burnt down investment reportedly linked with him including a television station, a newspaper house as well as assets of the Lekki Concession Company, the managers of the toll gate.

Commenting on the level of destruction suffered in the state after the Tuesday incident, Tinubu said, “First, we have to segregate the calendar – those who suffered casualty before the protests from the hands of SARS. You have to separate that from those who suffered casualty due to what happened at the toll gate.

“For those who suffered casualty from SARS, I think the Commission of Inquiry that is already set up will unearth that and will make their recommendations. I trust the calibre and the character of the people there, they are independent. That is one”.
