“I am very happy for the fish basket of Lagos State because Epe is the fish basket anywhere. We feed many states from here with our fish, “he said.
“For Senator Tokunbo to have come and built an ultra-modern fish market and a mini stadium in Epe, among others, we give big kudos to him, and we are very happy about it.”
