Lagosians pay for the Governor’s easy life, which isolates him from the pain and hardship - Mr Macaroni Tells Sanwo Olu

Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr. Macaroni, a well-known Nigerian content creator and activist, apologized to Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the gridlock caused by the Independence Bridge repair. During his visit to the Independence Bridge, Governor Sanwo-Olu urged Lagosians to cooperate with the government. He said that the work being done at the bridge was to save the lives of the people who use it, and he pointed out that the bridge has been in use for more than 80 years. Let's look at things differently. Plan ahead and conduct business online if you have nothing to do in Victoria Island in the next two to three weeks,” he added. Macaroni stated that the difficulties Lagosians face as a result of work at the bridge demonstrated the government's lack of concern for citizens' welfare in response to Sanwo-Olu's appeal and suggestion. “These measures and more extensive ones would have been taken prior to yesterday to make this process as painless as possible for the people of Lagos if the government had any regard whatsoever for the people of Lagos. “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 only occurred because this government does not feel any obligation to the people! On his X handle, he wrote, "If The Federal and State Government cannot successfully collaborate on projects like these even though they belong to the same party, then it only confirms what we have always known about the quality of leadership." In another tweet, Adedayo stated that the Governor did no favour to Lagosians by addressing the gridlock issue caused by the Independence Bridge work.

 Macaroni added that Lagosians pay for the Governor’s easy life, which isolated him from the pain and hardship people suffer daily.

 By addressing the difficulties Lagosians are facing, the Governor is doing no one any favors. It is his obligation!!! “Most people have been conditioned to accept the barest minimum from Politicians and that is why there is zero accountability to the people.

 “Sir Jide Sanwo-Olu, the people pay for your posh convoy, security, lodging, and every other amenity that your office provides. “All of these, in addition to a great number of others, make things very simple and enjoyable for you, so that you never have to deal with the suffering and hardship that the people face. The least you can do is to serve them with utmost respect and total commitment!  They are not entitled to anything less!!!" Added macaroni.
