Sympathizing with the victims of the fire incident, Rhodes-Vivour made a pledged of fifteen million naira to the victims as well as rebuilding the market to international standards if he is elected into office.
In a post he made on Twitter handle immediately after his visit to the market, GRV as he is popularly called said he was in the market to assess the damage done by the fire.
“I am on the ground in Akere Market, Ifelodun to assess the damage done by a fire allegedly set by an arsonist & political thugs. This is most unfortunate. Our politics should be about ideas, not violence. Ajegunle people, do not be intimidated. We will rebuild together,” his post read.
He went forward to write,
“Lagos is built on harmony and cooperation, it is the center of excellence, despicable violence & fanning the flames of ethnic tension has no place in this beautiful state.”
We all have to live together in Lagos after the elections. No political ambition is worth the lives or livelihood of our people.
No place should be threatened or destroyed for having differing political choices. It breaks my heart to see this happen in Lagos, it must end.”
