"In all, I want to thank the various stakeholders in Ayobo Ipaja LCDA, who took up the challenge to douse the tension in our various locales, especially the law enforcement agencies, who bore the brunt of the protest, yet stood undaunted.
"Our appreciation goes to our amiable Executive Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who through humility and quality stood tall in confronting and restoring peace to our State. Sir, indeed, Lagos State shall rise again.
"Going forward, we shall continue to dialogue and recommit ourselves to providing good leadership to our people, while upholding the sanctity of a better and conducive Local Council to the admiration of all."
