The placard-carrying traders, numbering about 700 called on the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu, to wade in and stop the proposed move to install a caretaker committee on the market by the council chairman, Emmanuel Bamigboye.
“When the law of restriction was lifted, we wanted to do the election, but the LGA chairman warned that we should respect the law on restrictions, so we started looking for possible ways to do the election, but we are yet to find solution because of social distancing. We still called on the LGA to give us permission and security, but the chairman said it was not possible to conduct election.
But a source at the council said the market leader secretly went to court and obtained judgment to elongate his tenure, which elapsed on August 14, so as not to conduct a fresh election citing COVID-19 precautionary measures as excuse against the constitution of the union, which stipulates that election must be conducted or caretaker committee constituted.
