Chief Press Secretary to Gov. Sanwo-Olu, Gboyega Akosile who disclosed this via Twitter, quoted Gbajabiamila as urging people not to read ethnic dimension to the issue and promising that the lower chamber of the National Assembly would do all within its power in rebuilding Lagos and other states affected by the violence.
Akosile further quoted him as saying: “This certainly is not Lagos State of our dream that we all talk about. I believe that no matter brave or face anyone put into it, even the protesters have their regrets that things went this far.
“From my understanding and from what I have seen, those who were for the protests and those who did not join were all affected. It is very unfortunate to see the level of destruction.”
