Fishermen and women as well as other related stakeholders at the well attended event, “If you want this to continue, you have a role to play; you have to register and you have to collect your Permanent Voters’ Card and then you can use your vote to choose what you want”.
“So, if you want this Sea Food Festival to be here next year, if you want Count Down to be here next year, if you want Beach Soccer to be here next year, the only way you can get them is to vote the Government which is providing these activities in Lagos, the All Progressives Congress Party. So, if you want to keep them, you must do your part. Vote APC”, the Governor said.

Thanking all the fishermen and women from across the riverine areas of the State – Epe, Badagry, Bariga, Eti-Osa and others – Governor Fashola said what his administration tried to do in instituting the festival was to bring the rural fishermen and women into the City once every year as the build-up to end of year activities begin adding that the event is one of the series that characterize the end of every year.

Other activities that mark the end of the year, the Governor said, include the Beach Soccer event, the Count Down and the Christmas festivities which lead to the New Year, adding, “I hope that you will all do what is necessary to sustain these activities.

Gradually, year on year, it is getting bigger and better. I have gone round all the stores. Our fisher-folks tell us that business has been good. People are still shopping. The purpose is to encourage small traders, small farmers, men and women, to benefit from the economy,” Governor Fashola said.
