Folarin Falana, often known as Falz the bad guy, has responded to the tweet of gratitude from Babajide Sanwo Olu for being re-elected as governor of Lagos State.

The March 18 governorship election in Lagos did not go as planned, with claims of voter suppression.

The governor, Babajide Sanwo Olu, turned to Twitter to thank the people of Lagos for re-electing him, regardless of the events that had place.

Falz expressed his displeasure with the tweet by stating that the governor had re-elected himself.

Sanwo Olu was not re-elected, the rapper emphasised because everyone could see what transpired on election day.

He wrote:

”I’m deeply humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support and trust of the good people of Lagos State. I’m honoured to be re-elected as your governor and pledge to continue to work tirelessly to deliver a better Lagos for all. Thank you for believing in me.”

”You were not re-elected. You selected yourself. Everybody saw it unfold. You are only deceiving yourselves,” he said.

A Twitter user attempted to make fun of Falz by questioning if he was upset about Sanwo-triumph, Olu’s and the rapper responded in the affirmative.

He went on to say that the pain comes from witnessing individuals turn against one another in order to manipulate the democratic process and win an election.

See the tweets below:

“Yes it is actually.

The pain of knowing that brothers and sisters are being turned against each other in a bid to “win” an election.

Also the pain of seeing our democratic process rubbished before our very eyes”

Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, has stated why he is backing the re-election attempt of the Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo Olu.

The head of Marlian Music claimed that Sanwo-Olu is the ideal candidate for the position and that he made significant progress during his first term in office.

According to the ‘Tesumole‘ singer, the current Governor has the experience to take Lagos state to new heights.

Naira Marley made it clear that he does not favour the APC, PDP, or LP but does think that the governor of Lagos has done enough to merit a second term.

He noted that the reason he is supporting the APC governorship candidate is that the situation in Lagos does not call for any experimental candidates while also disclaiming that he had not been compensated.

Speaking in a live video, he emphasised that there had been significant improvement in infrastructure and other areas, which was visible to everyone and could be seen.

“Nigerian civilians, I am not APC, I’m not PDP, I’m not LP, I got say, I just got to say one or two things inside this thing, you get me. I am not a fan of Politics or anything like that but where Lagos is going right now yeah, I don’t think we need to be testing you know, we don’t need t start testing, we don’t need to start testing at all.

I think Sanwo- Olu is the right man, is the right person for the job I’m not gonna lie to you. This is not a paid promo but just looking out at everything he’s done. Common guys, look at everything he has done, he has achieved a lot, the result are there , and he also has the experience you know, if it left to me, I know he is going to move Lagos forward, you can tell and look at the result, actions speak louder than words, obviously, all the ongoing projects, common bro. “

As the 2023 Gubernatorial elections in Nigeria draw closer, Nigerian singer, 9ice has gone out of his comfort zone for his preferred candidate, Sanwo Olu.

The Lagos State gubernatorial election of 2023 will be held on March 11, 2023. This election will also include elections for the Lagos State House of Assembly, twenty-seven other gubernatorial elections, and all other state houses of assembly.

The election will take place two weeks after the National Assembly and presidential elections. The incumbent APC Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is entitled to compete for re-election and has been renominated by his party.

In the primaries, which took place between 4 April and 9 June 2022, Sanwo-Olu was renominated by the All Progressives Congress on May 26 without any opposition, while Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran was chosen by the People’s Democratic Party on May 25.

On 4 August, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour—who withdrew from the PDP primary in May—won the primary of the Labour Party.

While his Principal, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared winner of the Presidential elections, Sanwo Olu faces strong opposition from Labour party candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour who has received massive support online.

Folarin Falana, commonly known as Falz, offers Governor Sanwo-Olu and the Nigerian Police Force some advice over the death of a Lawyer at the hands of a Police Officer.

This comes on the heels of the tragic murder of a pregnant lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, who was shot by police on Christmas Day.

Recall that Sanwo-Olu promised that justice will be administered promptly. Falz, however, urged the Nigerian Police Force and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a Tweet to identify and prosecute the offender and make all of the relevant information public.

He added that if justice is not given, it will be perceived as “an invitation to chaos.”

In his words:

“@jidesanwoolu @PoliceNG
When we refused to leave the streets in October 2020, we were referred to as recalcitrant #EndSars youth that just wanted to make trouble.

TWO YEARS after a panel made recommendations regarding those cases, they have still not been implemented.

@jidesanwoolu @PoliceNG

Another man in police uniform took the life of a pregnant Bolanle Raheem on Christmas Day.

If this person isn’t punished & all details PUBLISHED for everyone to see, I am afraid many will interpret that as an invitation to chaos.

Humble advice”

Nigerian politician and the Governor of Lagos State Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has expressed his interest and offered support for the 15th Headies Awards.

The Governor made this known in an interview with Hip Tv, stating how is excited about working with the prestigious music award.

Sanwo-Olu was full of positive remarks for the platform which recognises and celebrates African music stars.

According to the Governor, the Headies Awards which will hold at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, United States on September 4, would see ‘the state on ground to first sell Nigeria as a country then Lagos as a music capital and entertainment capital of our country.’

He stated that the awards ceremony is seen as “an exports of our creative industry and also our own foreign direct investment in America” far as Lagos State is concerned.

Speaking about the awards show, Sanwo-Olu said:

“Headies has been the rallying point, the crème de la crème. The high point of music awards, not only in Nigeria but I think in Africa. It has earned its credibility. Headies is a name that has stayed in the industry, that all industry players always aspire to be a winner.

“The fact that you were there last year, you’ll also want to try and won it again the other year. And for me being a watcher of all that, it has really grown in depth, size and acceptability.”

On the intended collaboration, he stated:

“So indeed, we are very excited. In the entertainment industry, Headies stands out and that’s why we feel very proud to be working with them.

“Lagos is the center piece for music, not only in Nigeria but in Africa. Now we want to be a global player in the world stage, there’s no better place to go in America than Atlanta where talents are being discovered.

“As a governor, we are very excited with that initiative and we are buying into it fully. We will be supporting them. We will also be on ground to first sell Nigeria as a country. We’ll sell Lagos as a music capital and entertainment capital of our country. And also use that to connect with our huge disapora audience in America. So, it’ll be a win-win for everyone.

“It’ll be a win for Lagos State government, for Headies and also for our international audience. They will be able to see, feel, touch and appreciate all of our musicians at the highest level. For us as a government, we see it as an exportation of our creative industry. This is also our own foreign direct investment in America. So, we are reversing it. We are exporting talents, knowledge and skills.”

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu invited Seun Kuti alongside other celebrities to a peace walk as part of measures to ensure peace in Lagos state.

On Tuesday evening, the singer posted his reaction to his Instastories, stating that he’s listening to Craig David’s “Walking Away.”

In a Live video, Seun also advised the Governor to admit that the job is bigger than he can carry and step down.

In another response to the invitation, the musician stated in an interview on Channels Television on Tuesday, November 30 that he does not need to walk beside the Governor before the state is at peace.

Seun Kuti went on to say that ensuring justice for all victims of police brutality and human rights violations is the first step toward bringing peace to the state.

He said;

“I don’t need to walk next to the governor before there is peace in Lagos.

“The governor should walk the walk he is talking about by bringing about justice. The governor is not an embodiment of justice, Seun Kuti is not an embodiment of justice, Falz is not an embodiment of justice, Mr Macaroni is not an embodiment of justice also.”

Seun Kuti isn’t the only celebrity to decline the peace walk as Falz and Mr Macaroni have also turned the Governor’s invitation, with Falz calling it a joke and disrespectful.

In his press conference on the Endsars panel report on November 30th, Sanwo-Olu called on Folarin Falana (Falz), Debo Adebayo (Mr. Marcaroni), Dele Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya (Segalinks), Adedotun (Just Detoun), Seun Kuti; Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, and Commander of Rapid Response Squad, RRS, CSP Yinka Egbeyemi and others to join him in the “historic march”.

Tuesday, Sanwo-Olu petitioned for peace and harmony, breaking his silence on the report of the Lagos judicial panel of inquiry into police brutality and the shooting of unarmed, peaceful demonstrators at the Lekki tollgate.

The army, police, and the Lagos State Government were all named in the panel’s report.

The panel also claimed that the October 20, 2020 incident at the Lekki tollgate constituted a massacre.

Sanwo-Olu had said:

“Dear Lagosians, this month of December, I will be leading a walk of peace to herald the healing of our land.

“Let me therefore use this occasion to extend an open invitation to all of our youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students, gentlemen of the press, media and other stakeholders to join me.

“I will want Folarin Falana (popularly called Falz), I will want Debo Adedayo (Mr. Macaroni), activist lawyer Dele Farotimi, Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya, legendary son of Fela (Seun) Kuti, Lagos Commissioner of Police, Commander of the RRS, to join me on this historic march for our dear Lagos..”

Mr Marcaroni took to his Twitter account to reject the Governor’s Invitation. In his tweet, he wrote that ‘genuine peacemaking will begin by first implementing the recommendations of the panel’

Falz responded to Sanwo-Olu’s invitation by calling it a joke and saying it’s insulting to join him on a peace walk while justice hasn’t been served since the alleged massacre of protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.

He wrote;

“This suggestion of a ‘walk of 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 must first be a just one.’ Remember the young Nigerians that had their lives snatched away by weapons wielded 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”

The Lagos state government is all but set to release a white paper on the report.

On May 24, 2021, Yeni Kuti clocked 60 and a number of dignitaries were present at her birthday party including the governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Reports soon made the rounds after a viral video was posted claiming that the celebrant’s brother, Seun Kuti, had disrespected the Lagos state governor by walking out on him.

The video later caught the attention of Yeni who then took to her Twitter page to clear the air. According to her, Seun got upset after one of the governor’s security aides pushed his wife, Yeide.
