Governor
Babatunde Raji Fashola has offered a more detailed response to his Anambra
State counterpart, Peter Obi as controversy raged over the sending home of some
indigenes of Anambra. It
was his second response in 24 hours. Fashola
first corrected the exaggerated number of the people involved. He said they
were 14 and not 70 or 72 as being circulated.
Fashola
said the 14 people were picked up on the steets of Lagos “as part of a
continuous exercise to assist vulnerable citizens who roam our streets without
food or shelter and a number who have medical ailments, usually in the nature
of mental infirmity”.
For
those who may be thinking that the decision to send the 14 people home was the
sole invention of Lagos State Government, Governor Fashola also included a
letter from the Akwa Ibom Government to Lagos Ministry of Women Affairs,
repatriating two indigenes of Lagos, who were picked up on the streets of Uyo. Read
