“Yes food are expensive. Truly, that is what we are experiencing now. Don’t forget, it is a global phenomenon. Is not peculiar to Lagos state or Nigeria alone. There is restiveness and problems across the globe. What is happening in Ukraine and Russia have affected so many things.
“Tinubu wants to subsidize Agricultural products. During harvesting period, the government will buy and store it in Silos.
“Just as Mr Sellable as established a storage in Erunwen in Ketu. So that plenty food will be stored during harvesting period and after harvesting period, when we are in dry season they will reel out the food to people at reasonable and more cheaper rate, that we are putting in place.
“The achievements are monumental. First and foremost we are progressives and you know the progressive wants the best for the citizens. The progressive wants the dividend of democracy to spread in all the nooks and crannies of the state.
That we have exhibited over years, that we have demonstrated. Going.in line with the progressive theme as laid down by our National leader and the presidential candidate of our party it cuts across all infrastructure and social amenities, good road network, education, human capital development, youth empowerment, women development.
“You could remember over the years, it is difficult to get to Epe. Today, you can get to Epe so easily whether through Ijebu Ode, Through Ajah or through Ikorodu. You can see what Mr Sellable is doing. We are completing the second phase of the concrete road from Eleko to Epe.
