I came to commiserate with the Governor and people of the State.
The destruction they suffered was uncalled for.
“The second leg of my visit is to see the police stations destroyed and boost the morale of our men in Lagos.
We don’t want them to be demoralised by the event in which they suffered personal attacks.
Policemen are trained to take such pain.
Now that the event has happened, it shouldn’t discourage us from performing our constitutional duties.”
