Nigerian music sensation and actor Folarin Falana, better known by his stage name Falz, has said that the invitation by the governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu for youths in the state to join him on Peace Walk, for healing of Lagos State sounds like a joke, and very disrespectful.

Also, Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, said that he humbly declined governor Sanwo-Olu’s invitation for “walk for peace”.

Macaroni said that for him to begin to trust the government genuine peacemaking efforts should be put in place by the government which according to him will be by first implementing the recommendations of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on EndSARS, submitted on Nov. 15

Falz on his part decried what he called injustice done to those who were murdered in cold blood and asking ‘How can there be peace without justice?’

Falz said: “This suggestion of a “walk for peace” sounds like a joke and a very disrespectful one at that.
People were murdered in cold blood and absolutely no iota of justice has been served more than a year after.
How can there be peace without justice ?

‘In this same speech, you said “To be a smart city, we first must be a just one”
Remember the young Nigerians that had their lives snatched away by weapons weilded by our own armed forces? You want to sweep that under the carpet ? Is that how to establish a just city? #ENDSARS

‘Young Nigerians, till today, are still being constantly harassed and extorted by police officers!! You were awfully quiet about that. Or are you not aware ? #ENDSARS”

Mr Macaroni wrote: “I humbly decline the Invitation of Mr Governor. The Government themselves set up a panel. The panel has made recommendations. I believe that genuine peacemaking will begin by first implementing the recommendations of the panel. Then we can begin to trust the government.

Mr Governor has said it in his speech. That to be a center of Excellence, we have to be a Center of Truth. Before there can be healing, the government has to be sincere. There must be acceptance of wrongdoings and willingness to correct them.

Finally, I’m not at war with anyone. Not with the Government, police or politicians. All we are asking is that our leaders place value on our lives as citizens and lead us with love, fairness, truth and justice, to enable all Nigerians live a better life in peace and unity.”
