* Promises to rebuild market if…
The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the March 11 governorship election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has visited the Akere Spare Parts Market in the Ajegunle area of the State where fire razed some shops on Wednesday morning.
Sympathizing with the victims of the fire incident, Rhodes-Vivour made a pledged of N15million to the victims, as well as rebuilding the market to international standards if he is elected governor.
In a post he made on Twitter handle immediately after his visit to the market, GRV – as he is popularly called – said he was in the market to assess the damage done by the fire.
“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,” his post read.
