The Chief Press Secretary to the Lagos State Governor, Gboyega Akosile, has reacted to the planned protest slated for Saturday, February 13, 2020, against the reopening of the Lekki tollgate in the state.

The organisers of the protest are angered by a ruling for the tollgate to be reopened as issued by the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses.

The control of the tollgate, which was the epicentre of the October 2020 #EndSARS protest against police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria, was ordered to be returned to the Lekki Concession Company.

Not pleased by the panel’s decision, some Nigerians on Twitter threatened to occupy the tollgate on Saturday to express their displeasure.

Reacting to the planned protest, Akosile, in response to a tweet with the hashtag #DontLetThemBringLagosDown, said “nobody will bring our dear Lagos State down! Their rights end where other people’s rights begin.”

Lagos State had witnessed the destruction of public and private properties during the #EndSARS protest, before and after the alleged Lekki tollgate shooting by soldiers.

Weyrey in disguised .

What the Bleep are we even benefiting from this toll gate except heavy traffic .

This Lagos state goverment is very very wicked and no body has been hold responsible for the death of the peaceful protester and u plan to open d tollgate becaus of their personal interest .

That tollgate should remain closed , they can’t provide the murderer at the tollgate but they can work on reopening it .
God punish all individuals working on opening this tollgate for their selfish sake .

Perhaps you think all of us are the "owo da agberos" that litter the roads and bus stops across Lagos.A tollgate was the site of one of the worst atrocity ever committed by the Nigeria state against it's own citizens wherein the same govt desperately tried to bury.

Alaba or not, #EndSARS protest will hunt all who have a hand in the death of all those involved.As for you Simplyleo/Omenka, karma or posterity knows how to pay us well.

Southerners are one of the most gullible dumbos I've ever read of chai. If there's anything to occupy it's the home and houses of who gave the Lekki shooting order. But Igbos are to be blamed for the destruction cause by the unchecked growing number of hoodlums in Lagos.

Anyways it's good y'all are playing into our hands and what we want is North being given another chance to rule just like I've always advocated for

Criminals, you want to divide and rule again.
You don't have shame Sanwolu. You are so much in a hurry to start collecting toll again under the blood of innocent Youths on that toll gate.

If you had any atom of regard for those innocent souls, you would have waited for at least one year anniversary before you start collecting your blood money.

If only we had the power to put these corrupt governors in jail

As most Lagosians have testified, there has been no traffic at the toll plaza on lekki epe since it went out of operation.

So you pay toll to endure hours of traffic, while your car is getting bashed left and right due to the chaos at the toll gate. Then you make your way through the gate and you are greeted by a 10km stretch of road with NO LANE MARKINGS (except for a few meters), few functioning street lights, potholes and crazy drivers with zero law enforcement...

They claim they lost billions in these few months that it has been shutdown, so think about it, how much money have they made since it has been in operation all these years? How many billions? For those that keep shouting PPP up and down, how much has been paid back and how much is left? They probably don't know, but will be the first to shout PPP, to further their corrupt masters continued graft.

If u guys don't have sense continue to fight against the people. Instead of supporting them, supporting the Truth and addressing issues.

U will inevitably make another mistep like u did b4 and bring lagos down by urself not even the people.

They do it because the people allow them to. Rather than curse these crooks when they see them the average citizen will genuflect and spout all manner of hyperbolic praise upon these cretins when they come into contact.

Re: OccupyLekkiTollGate: Nobody Will Bring Lagos Down - Gboyega Akosile by zealousayo(m): 5:03am On Feb 09, 2021
I do not think the protest is necessary 'cause it will still be hijacked by hoodlums. Some bad elements will have been scheming nefarious plans to cause anarchy that day, and that would worsen the situation. There may be loss of lives, destructions of properties (I pray these will not happen). We all know protests have no little or no effects in this, so the organizers should be cautious.
I don't think opening the tollgate will impend any justice. The company (LCC) managing the tollgate is a private and I don't think they have a hand in what transpired during the EndSARS protest at the place.

And I sincerely hope there will be justice at the end of everything. God bless us all IJN.

The toll gate will be reopened and there's nothing you and your fellow brainless insurrectionists will do, except to bark on the internet all day long.

If Lagos don taya you, go back to your fuckin' village.

I learnt you guys are planning another protest come Saturday. If dem born your papa well, show for Lekki toll gate that day. Me and my Isale-eko boys are ready for worthless things like you.
Easy Pata Alhaja.
Say no to Fighting Please.
We fear those Isale-Eko boys o.

Never make people get you angry on the internet.

They can only bark, they cannot bite as you rightly said.
Chest beating is their hobby.

It's well. I hope that Nigerian youths can come out enmasse in 2023 and vote out this government in Lagos that serves only the interest of a few elites. How can any sane government be thinking about reopening the toll gate when the people who died there have not gotten justice? What kind of wickedness and evil is in the heart of those ruling us? People should refuse to pay a dime to use that place. Let the stupid governor of the state and his godfather, go and man the toll gate to collect their blood money. Bastards!
