“The incidents of violence we saw across Lagos State yesterday have been one of the major reasons we seek and working assiduously towards having a breath of fresh air in Lagos and push for statewide reforms that will eradicate the criminal patronage system that uses our youth as weapons to advance the selfish causes of certain individuals.

“I visited her today to applaud her bravery and resilience to exercise her franchise to unseat the present wickedness called government,” he said.
