Without prejudice to the purported restructuring and delineation of the entire metropolitan, suburban and highbrow areas and all integra section of the only bilingual state in Nigeria and christened the Home of Excellence - Lagos State by its government, I will insist that the execution of certain objectives of the State government should be done in such an orderly manner devoid of chaos, confusion, and arbitrariness. Such commendable steps should wear the human face, the candid concern for, the understanding of the welfare and good of the people who may be affected in the implementation process of the plan of the state government.
It is yet worse when some personnel (I'm careful not to tag them hooligans, as their conduct and comportment aptly characterizes) capitalize on the noble intention to perpetrate and unleash mayhem on the innocent and harmless residents of Jakande low cost housing estate, Ejigbo, disrupting legitimate business activities, demolishing properties and destroying peoples means of livelihood.
With particular focus, I will invite my reader to the recent ugly development which took place in Ejigbo Local council development area (LCDA), where properties and structures worth millions of Naira and owned by certain illustrious individuals were demolished, destroyed, vandalized and other valuables looted.
It only amounts to adding salt to injury such that while the entire citizens of Nigeria not excluding the affected Jakande Estate people, are presently undergoing the biting recession measures and other vicissititudes of life, some disgruntled fellows, who apparently know someone in Alausa Ikeja, Lagos State capital, decided to make life more difficult, almost unbearable to the same people who are supposed to be beneficiaries of the dividends of democracy.
It will interest anyone reading this to be informed that, despite the ordeal the occupants and owners of demolished structures have been forcefully subjected to, few caring and affectionate individuals inspired by the exemplary leader in the person of Honorable Ibrahim Adefenwa(A10) have taken upon themselves to empathize with and rally around the victims of disastrous demolition of houses, shops and other landed properties inside Jakande Estate, Ejigbo Area of Lagos State.
It is said to be the escalation of disputes between a given landlord and a church building owners over land portion entitlement that culminated to what today has ended up removing shelters from the heads of people and depriving others their sources of sustenance. We want you to know that we sympathize with you and we are totally not in support of this act that was perpetrated by the Lagos state government in destroying your properties and means of livelihood in this hard times.
