Market men and women at Ayetoro Market in Epe Division have openly declared their support for Wale Raji for another term in the House of Representatives, citing his impactful contributions to market development and grassroots empowerment across the constituency.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the endorsement came during a gathering of traders, cooperative groups, artisans, and community stakeholders who commended the lawmaker for his continued commitment to improving the welfare and business environment of market women and traders within Epe Federal Constituency.
Leading the endorsement, Mrs Alausa praised Rep. Wale Raji for facilitating the construction of over 400 modern market shops at Ayetoro Market, which were later distributed free of charge to traders and business owners.
According to her, the project has significantly improved trading activities within the market while providing relief and stability for many traders struggling with inadequate business spaces.
“Rep. Wale Raji has done what many leaders could not do for us. The construction and free allocation of these shops have changed many lives and improved our businesses. That is why we are fully supporting him for another term,” she stated.
Mrs. Alausa further noted that the lawmaker has remained accessible to the grassroots and consistently supportive of market women through empowerment programmes, infrastructure projects, and people-oriented initiatives across the constituency.
Several traders at the gathering also expressed appreciation for the modern market structures, describing the project as one of the most impactful interventions experienced by the Ayetoro trading community in recent years.
They noted that the free allocation of shops helped many small-scale traders secure stable business spaces without the burden of high rental costs, thereby allowing them to grow their businesses and support their families.
Community leaders and stakeholders present at the event described Rep. Wale Raji as a representative whose projects can be seen and felt across Epe Federal Constituency, particularly in the areas of market development, roads, education, healthcare, and empowerment.
Responding to the endorsement, Rep. Wale Raji appreciated the market men and women for their support and confidence in his leadership.
He reaffirmed his commitment to policies and projects that would continue to strengthen local businesses, improve livelihoods, and promote economic growth within Epe Federal Constituency.
“I am deeply grateful for the support of the Ayetoro Market community. Our goal has always been to improve the lives of our people and create opportunities that will support economic growth at the grassroots,” he said.
The gathering ended with prayers, songs of solidarity, and renewed commitments by traders and market leaders to continue mobilizing support for the lawmaker ahead of future political activities.
