A handful of Lagosians are enraged online after all the illegally parked tankers and containers that usually cause traffic gridlock on the bridges on Ikorodu road mysteriously disappeared for the second time this year.
The first time they were cleared was for the Lagos City Marathon last week and now, the road is once again clear and free ahead of President Buhari’s visit to the city for the APC rally tomorrow.
See how some residents are reacting,

The tankers that have been on Eko Bridge & Ikorodu road have only been cleared on 2 occasions in more than 1 year. For the Lagos Marathon & for Buhari's visit on Saturday.
These people can solve problems. They just don't rate us

BREAKING NEWS:
Driving through Eko bridge down to Alaka through to Stadium and there is no sight of trailers, tankers and containers.
Buhari is coming to Lagos all of a sudden there is no tanker on Lagos roads?
So there is actually a solution?
Wow wow wow.

If PMB coming to Lagos is the solution to the Tankers and Trucks on the Eko Bridge, I think APC should add it to their Manifesto, that President Muhammed Buhari would visit Lagos every Saturday.
So this bridge can be free like this, chaiii 😂

So because Buhari is coming to Lagos tomorrow the Lagos state government cleared all the trailers and tankers on the road. See ehn, as many as you people are, causing us untold hardship in Lagos, your punishment will be immense. In fact, it will rain heavily tomorrow.

I see political e rats are already politicizing the evacuation of tankers off the road of Lagos state because PMB is coming for campaign with talk of one party not caring about us
But we know the other party won't do anything different/better as we've seen in the past #sameni

At least I’ve found one thing to be grateful for him for— mayen (@_mayenbassey) February 8, 2019
The president is coming tomorrow to Lagos and suddenly the tankers have disappeared from the road. Somehow, they have found a solution. @followlasg @AsoRock this is the definition of perfidy, the height of hypocrisy, after two years, what a shame.
