The governor who made the appeal at the
commissioning of the Fountain of Life Church’s main auditorium, owned by Pastor
Taiwo Odukoya in the Ilupeju axis of the state, said this after receiving a
birthday gift from the church.
Fashola noted that if Lagosians
are vigilant and adaptive to their community, the challenge of insecurity would
be overcome.
According to him, “We will overcome the
challenge by being vigilant and adaptive. By asking questions of things that
are not normal. Things that fail to follow the original conduct of human behavior.
By asking question from people who are strangers in our midst, seeking to know
where they came from, and what their purpose was among us”.
He added, “We must no longer keep
quiet. I am sure that if we do these simple things, all will be well with us.”
Fashola however tasked residents to
continue to live in peace and harmony irrespective of whatever happens.
His words, “By our action, we will show
that we have voted to live together; to live in peace and to respect one
another’s choices. And it is from that respect that we can earn the trust of
one another and keep this state together.”
The governor called on religious organization
to partner the government in eradicating poverty in the country, saying
“constructing and engaging residents, are good means of reducing employment.”
He said, “This is the partnership that
must exist between the government and the people of different faiths. Religious
organizations in other advanced countries own businesses to support their
government to provide jobs and keep the economy going.”
