Nigerians React As Falz, Mr Macaroni Declines Sanwo-Olu’s Peace Walk Invite

It is no longer news that Nigerian rapper, Falz, and Instagram comedian cum activist, Mr Marcaroni declined an invitation by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to join him in what he called ‘A Walk for Peace’ in December.

Naija News reports that the governor had in a press conference on Tuesday invited some youths in the state to join him in the “historic march for our dear Lagos.”

Those invited are Folarin Falana (Falz), Debo Adebayo (Mr Marcaroni), Dele Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya (Segalink), Adedotun (Just Detoun), Seun Kuti, Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu and Commander of Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Yinka Egbeyemi and others.

In a post on his social media on Tuesday, Falz described the invite as a joke and very disrespectful, adding that those killed at the Lekki Toll Gate have not received justice more than a year later.

While,  Mr Marcaroni slammed the governor for inviting some youths for a peace talk instead of talking about making peace.

The comedian also urged Sanwo-Olu to implement the recommendations of the Lagos judicial panel before talking of genuine peacemaking.

Reacting to the development, young Nigerians on social media have commended the rapper and comedian for rejecting the proposal of  the Governor. They also demanded justice for those allegedly killed at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.
