Lagos APC Warns Against Protest At Lekki Tollgate

The Lagos State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has urged citizens of the state not to engage in any protest at the Lekki tollgate.

Some youths on social media have threatened to occupy the toll gate in protest against the decision by a judicial panel to have it reopened under the control of the Lekki Concession Company.

Reacting to the planned protest, the APC state Publicity Secretary, Mr Seye Oladejo reminded people that Nigeria is still facing the second wave of COVID-19.

According to Oladejo, “Our earlier position that the violent and orchestrated protest was sponsored is perhaps being buttressed by this renewed efforts to make the state ungovernable.”

“We need to emphasise that the mindless reaction of the politically-frustrated Frank is typical of someone seeking relevance through a rather sensitive issue.

“Besides, it is subjudice and lawless on the part of Timi Frank to condemn a panel that is yet to officially submit its findings.

“We hereby call on all well-meaning Lagosians to condemn any act under whatever guise that could lead to further unrest in the state.

“We also need to be mindful of the ravaging second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, which thrives in an atmosphere of mammoth crowd.”
