LabourPartygovernorship candidate for Lagos state, Gbadebo Rhodes has donated 15 million Naira to those who were affected by the Akere Market fire.
He went to Akere market, Ifelodun to sympathize with them and also took to his Twitter page to encourage peace.
His tweet read:
“I am on the ground in Akere Market, Ifelodun to assess the damage done by a fire allegedly set by an arsonist & political thugs. This is most unfortunate. Our politics should be about ideas, not violence. Ajegunle people, do not be intimidated. We will rebuild together.”
“Lagos is built on harmony and cooperation, it is the centre of excellence, despicable violence & fanning the flames of ethnic tension has no place in this beautiful state.”
“We all have to live together in Lagos after the elections. No political ambition is worth the lives or livelihood of our people. No place should be threatened or destroyed for having differing political choices. It breaks my heart to see this happen in Lagos, it must end.”
