The Member Lagos State House of Assembly
Representing Kosofe Constituency 2, Hon FEMI SAHEED on Sunday Visited the scene
where a boat Capsized happened on Sunday 23rd of October, 2022 at
celestial Avenue Agiliti that claimed four lives.
A member of the affected community (name not disclose)
was interviewed after the visit of the Honorable member of the house with respect
to certain rumour that surface all over the community that claimed that the law
maker was at the community to blame the residents
instead of sympathise with them
Here’s the extract of his statement:
“Nawao” how can person with good conscience say a honorable holding public
office would go to a grieving scene and still blame them for their calamities.
Those present at the community at
the time the lawmaker visited the community would bear me witness with my
following narration of what actually happened.
Hon Femi Saheed got a call from a resident of the community about
the sad incident while preparing to go to the State Assembly for the day
plenary.
Immediately he got the call, he rushed to the scene saying a soul
is too much to loose not to talk of four.
He met with the leaders and residents of the two CDAs in the
community (Olaoluwa and Agiliti 2 CDA) commiserating with them on the sad
incident.
He said his appeal to the CDAs is that they should sensitize
people living close to the river banks to quickly relocate to safe places
because more casualty must not be recorded.
He said he would report the incident at the House plenary for
immediate response. He however warned that if the government hear of this
mortality, they may order all residents in the community to relocate. But he
said he would apply wisdom in reporting the incident so that all residents
would not be affected with response of the government.
He asked for immediate response that could be done to avoid such
incident of canoe mishap and a resident urged the Honourable to assist the
people to construct plank to serve as walk way and reduce many people using
canoe.
The lawmaker instantly announced a donation of N200,000 for the
plank construction and promised he would get in touch with other colleagues in
government to solicit their support for the flooding victims.
