The Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, said that what people are doing doesn’t have to be a public conversation as they are ” working behind the scenes” over the arrest and trial of Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this today (Saturday) while addressing journalists at the Polling Unit 019 Ward 08, Ikoyi II, where he cast his vote during the Local Government/Council Areas election.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Igboho and his wife, Ropo, were arrested at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport, Cotonou on Monday night while trying to catch a flight to Germany.
The governor, when asked about the presumed silence of South West governors on the arrest of 48-year-old Yoruba activist, said “people” are working behind the scenes and doesn’t have to be a public conversation.
He said, “These are very difficult times for all of us. I can assure you that people are working behind the scenes.
“At occasions like this, it’s not by how many Press people you call.
“I’m aware that a lot of people have responses that they are doing quietly and privately and it doesn’t have to be a public conversation.”
