Adeniran, in a statement signed by his media aide, Gbenga Ogunleye, added that Sanwo-Olu had made many promises that he did not fulfil in regard to the disaster and avoidable deaths.

“The governor’s failure to ensure due diligence on the governance process by engagement of competent personnel established his culpability. It is expected that the governor himself should have resigned instead of the arranged scapegoating of asking his commissioner to quit. He has made many unfulfilled promises to prevent these disasters and the attendant avoidable deaths,” Adeniran said.
