When the incident was reported,several APC members tried to distort the facts.Well,the truth has manifested itself as the owner of Chisco Transport Chief Chidi Anyaegbu has once again confirmed that 18 of his buses were burnt in Lagos by Thugs loyal to the APC....
Chidi Anyaegbu, said Babatunde Fashola the Lagos State governor, visited the premises on Thursday, February 19, to sympathise with the company. Anyaegbu said further that President Goodluck Jonathan, who was on a two-day working visit to Lagos, wanted to visit the transport company but “I asked him not to come that I would handle the situation because I didn’t want to politicise what happened and cause more problem for myself in the future and my business empire in Lagos, where I have lived in the last 39 years.”
Anyaegbu said although the president reacted to the incident in a statement released saying “I was surprised when the owner of Chisco, the company that runs transport business between Lagos and the South East told me that 18 of his luxury buses were burnt down in Lagos by youths of a rival party because my billboard was close to his facility.
“Is that the kind of people that want to take over the running of this country? Is this country going to be managed by people with that kind of background? I was shocked when I heard that Chisco buses were burnt”.
When Anyaegbu was asked if there was any form of compensation both from the Federal and State governments, he stated that “I would like to keep that to myself and that is between me and the government. Like I said earlier, I wouldn’t want to publicise this any longer, the situation would be taken care of and if there is any need for you to know if there is/was any form of compensation, when the time comes you will definitely know.”
