Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu launched the rebuilding of the Akere Spare Parts Market in the Apapa area of the state on Wednesday, which was destroyed by fire on March 8, 2023.
In a Twitter post, the governor said he also donated N100 million to the affected traders to alleviate their suffering.
He urged Lagos residents to avoid division as the governorship and state assembly elections take place on Saturday.
“Lagos takes care of its own and today I returned to kickoff the redevelopment of the Akere Motor Parts Market in Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA, which was affected by an unfortunate fire incident recently. I also donated N100 million to the affected traders to ease their pains,” the governor tweeted.
“As we move towards the election this Saturday, we must not allow bigotry be what will divide us. We must watch our utterances and ensure that we are not divisive. It is about the ordinary, everyday people. You own the mandate and it is about you.”
