The stickers, which cost between N500 and N1,000 and have been available for close to a month at parks throughout Lagos, were discovered to exist, but yesterday, a video of a tricycle rider in Ajah, Lagos, declaring he would prefer to leave his car parked rather than pay the fee went viral.jamb result

MC Oluomo said: “My attention has yet again been drawn to a video clip circulating online. It came to me as a surprise seeing that people were attaching the video to me and were also quick to state that it was a campaign fee to support the election of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“Naturally,  I would have just ignored it knowing that it’s the handiwork of naysayers. Being in an election session, I also know their malicious intention and the cheap political goal they aim to get with the video. I am however compelled for the sake of clarity to set the record straight.

“I did not know anything about the said sticker, nor did I sanction the sale. I would appreciate additional information as regards the location where the incident happened so that we can conduct a thorough investigation.

“We are against anything that would hamper the free flow of business activities or bring hardship to our people. The APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has more than enough people willing to finance his campaign and such money would not come from my office or me.

“I want to urge our people to be vigilant and remember that we are in an election period, as such, political parties would be looking for ways, both ethical and unethical, to outsmart themselves.”

But the Lagos State Police Command said  it was not aware of the matter. The Command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Huindeyin, told The Guardian that they have not received any complaint regarding the forced sale of  stickers.“No one has complained to us. We are not aware of the matter,” he said.
