I’ll walk with anyone promoting peace – Segalink backs Sanwo-Olu

Segun Awosanya a.k.a Segalink, a rights activist and member of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the Consolidated Report on General Police Brutality Cases and Report of Lekki Incident Investigation, has said that he will be walking with anyone promoting peace.

The activist said this after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu invited some known #EndSARS activists to a “Peace Walk”, as one of the steps towards closure and healing over last year’s EndSARS protests and the Lekki toll gate incident.

While some #EndSARS activist have rejected the Governor’s offer and asked for justice instead, Segalink who spoke from London, said he would have considered it if he was in Nigeria. He also claimed that it doesn’t stop him from criticising the Governor.

He said;

“Because I am an advocate for peace, justice, equity and fairness, I will walk with anybody who wants peace.

“There are no absolutes. Because I agree with some people on certain things does not mean I am in alignment with them. So if walk with the Governor today, it does not stop me from criticising the Governor.”

Awosanya consults for several firms, government and non-governmental organizations in Nigeria and beyond on technology, business strategy, strategic communication, real estate investments/wealth management, personal development, crisis/perception management, soft skills and media matters.

Awosanya facilitated and influenced the Nigerian socio-political space from 2014 till date through various advocacies.

The most popular among them is #EndSARS, which focuses on the reformation of the criminal justice system via legislative reforms and the scrap of rogue arm of the police (SARS) that is currently threatening the sovereignty of the country and the general sanctity of our society.

In the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria, Awosanya was listed as a member of the Lagos State Judiciary Panel of Inquiry by the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on police brutality in Lagos State.
