Speaking at The Platform on October 1, Sanwo-Olu said he would ensure that nobody was left behind, adding that the current transport system was working for the masses.

He said his administration would harmonise okada operations and develop a regulation system for better accountability.

“To also solve the traffic issue of Lagos is also to talk about the okada issue; okada is everywhere, anywhere you see. Part of the things that we are going to be doing is not to leave anybody behind. People are currently using a system that is working for them,” he said.

“You see some okada riders that are branded, that use smart ways to pay when you finish the journey. We are trying to harmonise all of them and be able to come up with a regulation system where we can account for every okada rider.

“We will know who they are, we can manage them. In fact, the solutions that some of them are bringing, they can disenable those okadas remotely. That is where we are planning to get to but it is also something that we need to think through very well and be sure that nobody is disenfranchised.

“As much as possible, give everyone opportunity to play and play well. I’m hoping that once we do all of this, the traffic will be reduced significantly.”

Well, what can we say? He regulated them into oblivion and out of existence.

Expecting politicians to keep their words is like expecting a stream to flow up a mountain.

All na business plan... Those stingy politicians will be the ones that will benefit from the whole thing. LSG's next move will be to buy more small buses. Bloody politicians.

This is just 4months down the line and you Lagosians are already suffering.
Brace for impact folks because it will be a bumpy 4yr if not 8yr ride. Next time, vote in reasonable leaders and not who Tinubu tells you to. grin

The real thing here is that, he's trying to move Lagos state forward.....

The congestion and over crowdedness is scary.... A good government will tackle that.

The ban is necessary, even though I'm suffering from it too. With time, Lagosians will adjust and the city will accommodate everyone.

You'd be surprised at the number of people who still trust what politicians say.

Naive, is the word that best describes such people.

You all should read here the political lies of British politicians and what they'd rather their electorate never know.

He is fulfilling his promise. Our government is not sensitive to the plight of masses. They are only after their comfort and convenience . They use this to remind Lagosians that Lagos belongs to upper class.

Guess you're aware they formed part of the voting population that enthrone his govt? Most politicians are liars.Okada riders are good but they're social embarrass -ment to a city of Lagos status.The government should have put in palliative measures before enforcing this ban.
