The Lagos State Government says it has no hand in Oro festival scheduled for August 1 to 15, coinciding with the #EndBadGovernance protest.

Gboyega Akosile, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said this on Thursday.

He said no one questions the government when other religions hold their activities.

The government likened it to other religious activities held across the country.

He noted that the same respect should be extended to traditional worshippers because they have the right to worship according to the constitution and can go about their lawful exercises.

“Oro festival is like Muslim and Christian activities and has no business with Lagos State government interference.

“We don’t have a hand in how any religious group goes about their lawful activities.

“The protesters have their rights just like the traditional worshippers who want to perform their activities too. What is our business in that?”

“If anybody wants to protest, they should come out and carry out their right lawfully by not disrupting the business activities in the state.

“We will not allow the peace of the state to be disrupted. No responsible government will allow it,” he said.

Alluding to the 2020 #EndSARS protest that led to the destruction of property and loss of lives in the state, Akosile said the state government frowns on its recurrence and would stop it from happening again.   (vitalnewsngr.com)
