Lagos Panel Report: Lai Mohammed Has Proven That There's Nobody At The Centre - HURIWA

HURIWA said this in reaction to the press release made by the Information minister on Tuesday, November 23, on the Lagos Panel of inquiry's report on the Lekki toll gate massacre.

Lai Mohammed had in the press conference yesterday, restated that there was no massacre at the toll gate. He described the panel's report as fake news and a tale by moonlight.

The HURIWA coordinator said;

"The reaction of Lai Mohammed stridently denying the clear and evidently proven massacre of gargantuan proportions in Lekki Toll Gate on 20th October 2020 and his attempt to rubbish and discredit the report of the illustrious Lagos State Judicial Panel on #EndSARS protest, is a demonstration that there is no coherence and cohesion in government at the centre.

"It shows that there is truly nobody at the Centre who is providing leadership in which case the cabinet-level ministers are doing and saying whatever they deemed alright in their warped imagination to say or do.

"The Minister of Information Lai Mohammed has succeeded in revealing the spectacular collapse of the Presidency and that governance is now through an autopilot mode. It is sad, pathetic and disappointing that the Minister spoke even before a White paper is published by the Lagos State Government and it shows that he has no respect for the sensitivity and sacredness of the many lives that were needlessly wasted by soldiers and police.

"He has no valid reason to remain as a minister because he has lost all modicum of self respect and I think Nigerians will no longer take the Federal government serious if he remains in office as the official spokesperson of the Government.ÔÇØ
