Nigerian dancehall musician, Daddy Showkey during the weekend expressed how angry he feels about the tankers and containers being parked within the residential areas around the popular Ajegunle slum in Lagos.
The Galala crooner who rose to stardom from Ajegunle said:”People’s lives are in danger and they are important to me. The tankers always obstruct the road and if there is an emergency, people will not find an escape route easily.
“Every business around Ajegunle is dying because people cannot access the area easily. I wanted the governor to see what the people are going through and I am happy that he has finally intervened.”
The singer called Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s attention to the container terminal in Ajegunle Donclimax.
He said: “The container terminal in Donclimax should also be moved; it is high time we started showing concern over the welfare of ordinary people within Lagos State and Nigeria generally.
“Why would they build a container terminal in a residential area? A container terminal is supposed to be close to a seaport. I will keep advocating for my people, because they are the ones that listen to our songs and buy my albums,he told Punch.
