(Photos) "Apart From Free Internet, Okadas Will be Allowed to Operate" - Jimi Agbaje

 

On Saturday, the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos state, Jimi Agbaje, rode on a motorcycle (okada) to a campaign rally organised for him by a coalition of NGO, trade unions and some socio-cultural organisations.

The well attended rally took place at the stadium within the International Trade Fair Complex.

Endorsing Agbaje for governor, the Archbishop of Resurrection Praise Ministry, Sampson Mustapha Benjamin said: “Agbaje is a man who identifies with all tribes, the poor and less privileged. Agbaje is a man who does not discriminate against non-indigenes. My dealings with him revealed his openness and a large heart that reaches out to all. With Agbaje as the governor in Lagos, we have got it right because his administration will be positively all-encompassing and will benefit all residents of the state from elites to the downtrodden.”

Agbaje promised okada riders in the state that he has no plan to ban okada operators as there are lots of areas in the state which are inaccessible as result of the present administration’s failure in the area of transportation, noting that only motorcycles could access such places.

He said he would sit down with the operators to fashion out how they would operate without problems.

“Everything my administration will do will be beneficial to all. Irrespective of your tribe, religion or who you know, my administration will empower all,” he said.

Recalled that he also promised Lagosians free internet
