The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Monday provided free petrol to commercial motorcycle riders, better known as Okada riders, in Ado-Ekiti.

The supply of free fuel was launched at a petrol station along Ikere Road in Ajilosun with the riders forming long queues to benefit from the gesture.

Many of the beneficiaries decorated their bikes with the posters of Fayemi. They got five litres of fuel each in the scheme which continues on Tuesday.

The fuel station was besieged by the riders as soon as the news spread that free fuel was being supplied at the outlet.

The APC candidate urged the riders not to collect transport fare from the commuters they would be conveying.

Fayemi’s appearance at about 10:45am turned the filling station to a carnival as the riders hailed his gesture and recalled what he did for their unions during his first tenure.

The APC candidate urged the riders to ignore allegation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) camp that he would ban commercial motorcycle operations if he wins the July 14 poll.

Fayemi said rather than banning Okada business, he would give the operators more incentives including soft loans, equipment and provide good roads to aid their operations.

Recalling some of the goodies enjoyed by the riders during his first term, Fayemi revealed that he procured 280 motorcycles, 500 tricycles for them and gave their union a brand new bus.

He added that his government, which was in office between 2010 and 2014, gave the riders’ union N150,000 monthly allowance for logistics and running of their office.

Fayemi also revealed that his first administration celebrated Okada Riders’ Day for the first time in the state’s history and also provided 3,000 free helmets for their use.

A beneficiary, Segun Fowobaje, hailed Fayemi for the free fuel supply which he said would add value to their business.

Another rider, Wale Esan, assured Fayemi of the votes of the riders describing him as the “true friend of the masses”, saying his government did the best for them in the history of the state.

A security aide to the APC candidate, Deji Adesokan, who coordinated the scheme said the gesture was to identify with the riders as important stakeholders in the state.

Adesokan said the free fuel given to the riders was also to the benefit of commuters who would be conveyed free of charge.

Federal money!! Chai!, these politicians are kind of heartless sha. Anyway, only the gullible in Ekiti state will dance to the tune. After all these crooked gesture, he will abandon them to be earning millions while the citizens will continue to suffer.

This guy matches Fayose pounds for pounds this time. Fayose thinks he is the only one who knows how to deceive the people with stomach infrastructure, now he has a new man who has adopted same style. I'm laughing and watching to see how the election will go in the coming days.

Did I hear you say free?
For every N5 a politician spends for the masses, he knows he'll get it back in X1000 or more.

Just for the votes
This country sef

Yeyeepeople that sell there birth right just for nothing

That's like a hungry man feeding his opponent before a fight.
All the money in the world will not give APC victory in Ekiti State.
Good thing is that ordinary Nigerians are touching their looted money

Okada infrastructure

APC all d way....

#200 fuel na e won take convince okada rider make dem vote am! Ur own na play.

Squandering Abacha's recovered loot.
These are the benefiting poor masses .

Useless Government

Same Fayemi who they said slept on a 110 million naira bed abi. Nigerians are so gullible

Too bad

This mumu sha loves copying Fayose. SMH Ekiti tideyin Leyin re o ti jeihiho

Uselessness,if it were to be me I would collect 50litres and still vote for any party of my choice.senseless politicians and senseless Nigerians.

This shows how gullible Nigerians could be. They would all pay for this fuel they'd collected when he becomes a Governor.

Folks campaigning for political offices in Nigeria don't bother about coming up with empty policies anymore. They just cook up a show

Collect fuel and Vote the idiot out

Their Children destiny traded for 5 liters of fuel. Let the okada people know that, for the next 4 years the should not expect anything from him, he has paid them with 5 Liter's

Fayose is a goner

Fayemi the boss of them all

Lol this one wants to use Fayose style... Bros they will use your fuel to go n vote for PDP o

pk

Fayemi shares fuel while fayose shares beans and agege bread.

Ekiti may not get well soon with the crop of leaders pushing forward the progress of that state. Worst is they have no mineral resources useful to mankind except recycling bad leaders.

I’m ashamed ekiti has more educated heads but will end up this way...

nonsense.. paying back what you stole from the people...
