 Lagos State Governor Babajideh Sawalui has called on POS operators and field attendants to desist from extortionate service charges and forms withdrawal and sale of petrol. The governor, whom they called during a statewide broadcast on Saturday at Government House Marina Lagos, said he is saddened by the ongoing situation in the country regarding the change of currency notes and the attendant hardships being faced by ordinary legosians. By thanking legosians for their patience and unwavering perseverance even in their challenging times, he had joined them to avoid all forms of violence, arson and rioting and go about the lawful activities without fear. We have noticed with dismay the rampart incidents surrounding some of the players in the financial services value chain, especially POS agents and operators as well as petrol station attendants in some places who have taken the current challenges to mean an opportunity to extort hardworking and law abiding legosians with extortionate services charges on funds withdrawal and sale at the various petrol stations. Let me appeal to those involved in such behaviour to desist from such sharp practices. It is especially in difficult times like this that we all need to be our brothers and our sisters keeper and do everything that we can to contribute to lessening the hardship faced by our fellow legosians. On the cash state situation, Governor Sao Olu said that measures are being put in place to provide palliatives to legosians to cushion the effect on the people. And to my good people of legos, please resist the opportunists who seek to take advantage of the anger and frustration that we are all feeling to hike the situation and to foment trouble amongst us. We know that there are unscrupulous persons who want to sow seeds of violence and discord by their very utterance and actions, all with the way view of robbing you of the chance to cast your votes just a week from today, February 25th, at both the presidential and the National Assembly election, do not allow them to use you to achieve whatever evil intentions they have. There is no justification whatsoever for attacking public or private property. The law enforcement agents have received clear instructions to take full control and to ensure zero tolerance for any and all acts of assault, violence or destruction. And we are enjoying all our Biden legosians to carry out their lawful activities without fear.
