Traders in the Badagry Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State have declared their support for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates including Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
This came recently when 2023 Lagos State House of Assembly Aspirants (LAHAA) stormed Agbalata International Market, Badagry and J5 Market along Seme border in continuation of their market storm across all LGAs of Lagos to canvass support for all APC candidates.
They were received by the market leaders and traders at the two major markets in the LGA.
Coordinator of LAHAA 2023 in the LGA, Friday Ahadji-Williams, said: “Since 2007, Badagry Federation has been the only LGA in the whole of Lagos that has delivered 100 per cent for the APC, and we will not do otherwise this time around.
“We will deliver for Asiwaju Tinubu; our incoming Senator for Lagos West, Dr Idiat Adebule; House of Reps candidate, Hon Sesi Whingan; Hon Solomon Bonu and Hon Setonji David of Badagry Constituencies I and II.”
Ahadji-Williams noted the cash and fuel scarcities have posed a trying moment for the APC and residents while assuring things will get better if Tinubu gets elected.
He commended his fellows aspirants for sticking to part of their campaign promises to mobilise residents in registering and getting their permanent voter’s cards (PVCs).
He noted over 90 per cent of the electorates in Badagry have picked up their PVCs.
Otun Iyaloja of Agbalata International Market, Chief Mrs Sekinat Oyaleye said the leadership and traders are behind all the candidates.
Oyaleye however urged all the candidates to fulfill their promises including empowering the traders if they get elected.
