The burnt Akere Motor Parts and Allied Dealers Association (AMPADA) market is to be rebuilt.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu laid the foundation of the new market yesterday.

He also donated N100 million to traders who lost their goods in the fire.

The donation was to assist the traders to pick up their businesses, the governor said.

“A week or less ago we promised to come back here to give immediate support to the people who were affected by the unfortunate incident. This isn’t politics, it’s just a coincidence that it is a political season”.

“I’m happy to be here to lay the foundation for the new market building. Now it’s a storey building and the small compensation that will alleviate the suffering and loss of our traders here. It’s for us to make a clear stand that we are not about the ethnic or religious division, we are a government that is people-centered and working to make things better for them, no matter what party or where they come from. As long as they are law-abiding, keep to laws guiding the environment and respect the heritage of where they do business, they will always be accommodated.

“This will also send a clear message to people who want to divide us that we won’t let a little number disunite a large number of people, we won’t give them a space in Lagos and in our government.”

Chairman of Ajeromi-Ifelodun LCDA Fatai Ayoola thanked the governor for keeping to his promise of helping the people, and promised that they will reciprocate his good gestures by voting for him on Saturday.
