Bode George calls for dismantling of Lekki toll gate
Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called for the dismantling of the Lekki toll gate in Lagos.
He gave the advice at a press conference days after the end of the street demonstrations by EndSARS protesters across the country.
Bode George also called for a change in the organization of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW.
He said:
“Let me reiterate the irreduceable minimum acceptable to placade the angry and restless youths in order to restore peace, fairness and equity in our state.
“The two tollgates should be dismantled immediately and permanently. AlphaBeta and Lekki Concession Company should be scrapped. The advert signage monopoly given to Seyi Tinubu should withdrawn forthwith.
“The Iya Oloja title should be withdrawn from Shade Tinubu and be given to the individual who deserves it according to tradition.
“The NURTW which has become the militia wing of the APC should be re-organized and removed from the armbit and control of political actors.”
