We are here to express our grievances against the plan by the state government and the contractor to demolish our shops. We appeal to Governor Seyi Makinde; we want him to hear our voices. Some people came as developers to demolish our shops and rebuild them. We don\u2019t want developers. We want to build our shops ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the time of Alhaji Lamidi Adesina, he allowed us to use planks; during the time of Chief Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, he allowed us to use containers. Governor Seyi Makinde said he wants us to use blocks. We want him to allow us to do it ourselves. We don\u2019t want a developer. The developer will exploit us. We want Governor Seyi Makinde to intervene and come to our rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A female trader at the market, Deaconess Oluwatoyin Akinpelu, while speaking, regretted that four people have died as a result of the planned demolition of the shops. She advised the governor to allow the traders to build the shops themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want to take over our shops. Four people have died as a result of what they did, while some people have developed ailments. We appeal to the governor to allow us to build the shops ourselves. We want him to allow us to use blocks to build the shops ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another trader, Mrs Moriyeba Babajide, in her own contribution, appealed to the governor to approve the building of the shops by the traders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want the governor to approve for us to build the shops ourselves.
