Popular human rights activist and Convener, Save Lagos Group (SLG), Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman, has announced plans by the group to organise a million-man march rally tagged “Otogee in Lagos” which would be used to canvass for votes “for opposition political parties in the forthcoming governorship race in the state.”
He said in a statement issued on Sunday that the awareness rally was imperative because Lagosians should be free from the All Progressives Congress (APC) which has ruled the state since the return of democracy in Nigeria in 1999.
The statement urged “the Lagos masses to take their destiny in their hands by using their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) to vote out the ineptitude party in the state.”
It disclosed that SLG would hold meetings over the weekend with “the concerned citizens of the state, opinion leaders, leaders of thought and opposition political leaders across registered political parties . . . in the course of liberating the good people of the state from the hands of present impostor.”
The group strongly condemned the disruption of its meeting of last Thursday by security operatives, insisting on “the joint effort to ensure the liberation of the state from the enslavement of interloper and its agents in the state.”
According to the group, “The total liberation of Lagos State and her citizens must be the joint responsibility of all and sundry. Whenever we call out for ‘Otoge’ rally, every Lagosian who wants liberation of the state from the present demons should grace it. Lagos State must be liberated from the hands of the current (ruling) political party.”
