Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), Lagos State Chapter, on Monday reiterated its call for the removal of Federal Government’s SURE-P Task Force from Lagos roads.
In a statement by its Chairman, Akinola Obadia, CNPP noted that the deployment of the task force officials close to election period was suspicious, and called on the Federal Government to immediately withdraw them.
The group insisted the Lagos State Transport Management Authority (LASTMA), was capable of managing traffic on the roads.
CNPP had slammed the Federal Government, last week, for introducing a federal task force in Lagos, few months to elections.
The group maintained that the SURE-P task force which has since taken over traffic control on federal roads in Lagos was causing chaos and unrest.
Part of the statement read: “We, members of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), Lagos State Chapter, hereby totally condemn the introduction of the black uniformed men known as SURE-P Task Force officials to illegally control traffic on Federal Highways in Lagos.
“Their recent clash with LASTMA Officials over control of the highways is an attempt to cause chaos and unrest within our peaceful state.
