Veteran actor and Lagos prince, Jide
Kosoko has released a statement
defending embattled Lagos state
Governor, Babatunde fashola over the
deportation of some Ibo destitutes from
the state.
I disagree with the people criticising the
deportation. There are reasons for
everything. Since there have been
negotiations between Lagos and the state
concerned and the government believes
their home state would take better care
of them, I think the action was
appropriate.
We don’t need to shy away from the fact
that Lagos is over-populated because of
its commercial advantage. Anybody doing
a legitimate work here is entitled to stay
but a situation where they are turning
themselves to a nuisance in the state and
they would go as far as inviting others to
come is not acceptable.
Let’s not deceive ourselves, look at the
highways, are they not better? I am not
speaking for the government but for
myself. To me, whoever constitutes a
nuisance in any state, not just Lagos, let
them be sent back home.
It is very unfortunate that we are in a
multi-ethnic country; that is the major
problem we are having. We find it difficult
to say the truth.
Do you agree with him?
