In a recent interview on Channels Television, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV), the Labour Party's gubernatorial candidate for Lagos in the 2023 elections, strongly criticized the current administration's approach to urban management and security.
Rhodes-Vivour highlighted what he sees as a significant inconsistency in the government's priorities.
He also emphasized the aggressive nature of recent urban renewal and demolition campaigns.
He also pointed out a lack of proactive measures by the government to ensure public safety and effective traffic management during these activities.
Rhodes-Vivour's comments reflect Lagos residents' concern about the lack of timely information and visible security presence.
He believes these elements are crucial for mitigating disruptions caused by demolition activities and maintaining public order.
In his words in a recent post on X, he said, "We have a government that is very active in demolition. We are not seeing men on ground; we're not seeing intelligence being given out early, 'avoid these routes'; creating diversions."
