Hypocrite! See why Lagosians are angry at Gov Sanwo-Olu over Flutterwave $170m deal!

The news of Flutterwave’s $170m investment deal is getting reactions since yesterday when it broke out and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sent his congratulatory to the duo of Olugbenga Agboola and Iyinoluwa Aboyeji – owners of Flutterwave.

Governor Sanwo-Olu took to his official Twitter page to congratulate the duo as well as other members of the team for their “landmark achievement.” Governor Sanwo-Olu also lauded how the Flutterwave has been able to help Small and Medium Enterprises grow.

However, Lagosians, in reaction to the Governor’s comment have sent a series of reminders to him especially on how his administration placed a ban on Motorcycles, Tricycles as well as start-ups like Gokada, Maxride and ORide.

On the 27th of January, the Lagos State Government announced that it has placed a ban on Commercial Motorcycles and Tricycles in Apapa, Surulere, Ikeja, Lagos Island, Eti-Osa Local Government Areas of the State.

Governor Sanwo-Olu’s congratulatory message on Flutterwave’s achievement has generated a handful of reactions on social media with many severely criticising him.

Why do I have a feeling you’ll be looking for ways for tax them or ruin them completely like you did to Gokada?
And don’t think we’ve forgotten that you’re a murderer. https://t.co/snBSSkglQl

Mr Governor, same way you empowered Gokada, Oride and MaxGo right?

You all love success but you don’t support success.

Sanwoolu is audacious. Enabling SMEs by suffocating Gokada & co. Then congratulating the same Flutterwave they smoked during the EndSARS protests. You just know when Jagss is tweeting.

This clown is congratulating Flutterwave but it was the same clown that frustrated OPay, Gokada and MaxNG out of business.
