Governor Sanwo-Olu  Speaks on the latest Okada ban in Lagos






"I Never Said I Will Not Ban Okada - Governor Sanwo-Olu reacts to viral video of him at The Platform Reacting to the viral video, Governor Sanwo-Olu through his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile denied saying he won't ban Okada riders.

 “When the Governor was talking on The Platform, he didn’t make any categorical statement about whether there would be a ban or not. “He said that ‘we will look into it. We will see whether we will use technology or even categorise them…’ Everything he said was not categorical. It wasn’t only at The Platform he said that; he said it at several events.

“What we have only done is to start up enforcement on the existing laws, we have not come out to say we are banning. You cannot ban people’s commercial activities, the government has the responsibility, due to one reason or the other, to regulate. “Go to the UK, Uber is a major transportation company, U.K government banned them due to regulation issues, so if Okada people had constituted a menace to the society, security. “You and I are not safe and our research has shown that for 85 per cent motorcycles.

The government went to the drawing board to know what can be done. If we do that it won’t be easy for any criminally minded people carrying put dastardly acts to escape. “If you see the number of people at the hospitals you will be shocked and all of this is Okada. We had to create an Okada ward.
