Accord Party member representing Lagos State’s Mushin 1 Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, MR. Dauda Kako-Arehas said he would take 2,000 intending picnickers from his constituency to the Sultan Beach located in Badagry on Easter Monday.

Kako-Are told newsmen on Wednesday that this would afford them the opportunity to relax in a natural setting devoid of the hustling and bustling of the city centre. He said it had been his culture to take some members of his constituency to tourist sites during Easter celebration.

The lawmaker said no less than 2,000 intending picnickers had already shown interests in the exercise and more were still registering. “I believe my people need to enjoy the dividends of democracy and this is an avenue to do so. I will be responsible for the expenses and not the constituency because I do not want my people to be overburdened,” he said.

It would be recalled that Kako-Are has been responsible for free school bus ride for primary and secondary school pupils in the area. He has also been providing clean water and monthly allowances for adults and the elderly in his constituency.
