Fmr Lagos Varsity VC cautions Tinubu against long convoys in the midst of hardship

Former Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe has cautioned President Bola Tinubu and other politicians against austetatious living while Nigerians groan under the excruciating hardship induced by the hike in petrol price.

He indicated that the men of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) have no business in the convoy of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima once the Police is in the convoy.

The former Vice chancellor who delivered a lecture at the 60th birthday anniversary of the Senate leader said there is need for political office holders to reduce the number of vehicles in their convoy to show to Nigerians that they also feel their pains in this season.

Ogundipe said , “There is a need for our leaders to reduce the number of vehicles in their convoy so that Nigerians will know that you feel their pains.

“There is nothing VIO, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) will be doing in the entourage of the President and the Vice President once you have police in the convoy.”

Speaking on the issue of insecurity in Nigeria, Prof. Ogundipe indicated that the issue of insecurity is global, adding that there are more crimes in the countries condemning Nigeria, but it is possible to change the narrative because they control cyber space.
