If elected governor of Lagos in 2023, Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran (Jandor), a candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has pledged to examine the state’s restriction on the use of commercial motorbikes (Okada) in certain areas.
The Nation reports. A few months ago, Sanwo-Olu prohibited the use of commercial motorbikes on public highways in a total of 14 local council development areas and 10 local government areas.
The ban, which seems to be making progress, might be expanded to more places.
According to Sanwo-Olu, the State’s Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018 guided the government’s decision to act swiftly to address the commotion and danger that Okada’s operations in the designated zones had brought about.
But faulting the State Government, Jandor who spoke during his campaign train to Eti-Osa Local Government Area in company of popular singer, Bankole Wellington aka Banky W on Saturday, promised to revisit the Okada ban policy.
He said: “Now they’ve chased all our people away. We cannot do Okada again. Okay, if we cannot ride Okada again, what are you giving us in return? Nothing. Does that make sense? We will come back as governor of the state in 2023 and revisit all those issues.
“If we are taking away something from you, we must be able to give you something back. PDP does not discriminate. We all together own this land.”
