He cited the ENDSARS protest which took place a few years ago in Lagos and hijacked by disgruntled elements where innocent lives and several properties worth billions of Naira were lost as a result of the senseless action by agents of darkness.
“We all witnessed how innocent lives and properties worth billions of Naira were lost during the so-called ENDSARS protest a few years ago in Lagos when a genuine agitation turned into violence

Hon. Faleke noted the positive effects of some of the policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is beginning to manifest on the nation.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration has just approved a new minimum wage for the civil servant which is more than 100%
