“We are concerned about the gravity of the damage to life and property in Lagos and other places.

“We are going to move a motion in the Senate to urge the Federal Government to come to the assistance of Lagos State because the burden of the damage will be too much for Lagos alone to bear," he said.

According to him, the Senate is in support of the demands of the youths and will do all within its power to actualise them.

“We are working with government to ensure that those demands that require constitutional approval will be done by us expeditiously.

“We are here today on a courtesy visit to the Executive Governor of Lagos State, to solidarise with him and to commiserate with him on the recent experience of Lagos State.

“We are indeed very unhappy that at this stage in our history, that this type of damage have been done to Lagos State.

“We pray that this type of thing will not happen again. Those who are in governance and those who are out of governance, all have a role to play to ensure that this country moves forward.
