Makinde in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday insisted that he does not have a favoured group and no one is above the law.

He warned that he had discussed the issue with the Commissioner of Police to clampdown heavily on any troublemaker.

Makinde while speaking further, assured all citizens including market women to go about their lawful duties as the new administration is determined to protect everybody without fear or favour.

He said “We will make life uncomfortable for those who profit from violence.

“And ensure that all the citizens operate their normal lives without intimidation or fear.”
