Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Lawal opened up on how political decisions can shape public behavior in ways many people don’t expect.
He alleged that certain actions taken by leaders can create a sense of entitlement among some groups, leading to situations that ordinary Nigerians struggle to control.
Something troubling is already making people react strongly. The full story is waiting just above.
To explain his point, Lawal shared a personal experience from his time in office. He recalled how two herdsmen allegedly drove cattle into his farm, destroying crops.
When confronted, he claimed they acted with confidence, insisting they had backing and could not be challenged.
Lawal said what shocked him most was what sometimes happens next.
According to him, after such incidents, influential traditional rulers may step in, calling victims and pleading for the herders to be released instead of facing consequences.
What people are discovering above is already causing heated debate nationwide. Don’t miss out on what everyone is saying.
He linked this mindset to political and ethnic perceptions, warning that such beliefs can create serious divisions and tension across communities.
As reactions pour in, Nigerians are once again debating issues of security, fairness, and accountability in the country.
