I want to advise the government to rethink its decision because Lagos can\u2019t operate without bikes because of traffic. Government should register Okada riders in each local government to know those working in any local government. By so doing, the government would know who to pick when any issue arises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of our members stay here in Lagos and vote during elections. That should count for something because we contribute to votes during elections. The government should change the system of Okada riders not stopping them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waziri, however, ruled out the possibility of taking any legal action against the state government.<\/p>\n<p>The Seriki Hausa of Ajah, Ibrahim Ngoma, agreed with his Obalende counterpart that the government should consider the voting population of Hausa Okada riders in Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTruth be told, Governor Sanwo-Olu has been understanding with Okada people unlike Governor (Babatunde) Fashola. Okada members should obey the law while I appeal to Governor Sanwo-Olu to look into the matter and lift the ban before the election because the ban is affecting my people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Also, another leader of the Hausa community in Lagos, Iliyasu Kira, in a telephone interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday, pleaded with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to reverse the ban.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Seriki Hausa in Shasha in the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, the voting population of the Hausa Okada riders in Lagos is not something the government want to joke with.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI appeal to the government to leave Okada riders to continue their operations. These Okada riders help the government during elections with votes. Our voting population in Lagos constitutes over 2.7 million because most of us vote here in Lagos. We are not all bad people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of our people are Okada riders in Lagos. If the government claims that robbers are rampant among Okada riders, then the government should sieve out the criminals. The government should provide replacement for our members affected by the ban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have the power to start any legal case with the government. This is why I am appealing with the government to reconsider the ban.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An aide to the Sarkin Hausawa of Agege, Abdullahi Salihu, in a chat with The PUNCH, said the Hausa community in the state will not challenge the government\u2019s ban.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe Chieftaincy Council of Hausa Community in Agege, under his Royal Highness, Alhaji Musa Muhammed Dogon Kadai, doesn\u2019t challenge government laws. We believe that whenever government makes a law, it\u2019s for the best of the general public. So, challenging the government\u2019s law is like saying we don\u2019t want the betterment of the state. We know that many of our people earn their daily income from the Okada business but that doesn\u2019t mean that because of their own income we should jeopardise the security of lives and property in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salihu said he also spoke with the Sarkin in three of the affected LGAs, saying they gave the same position as that of the Hausa leadership in Agege.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cMajority of them are on the same page as we are here. They said our stand on the issue is also their stand, so that\u2019s the resolution we have reached. We are urging every member of the community to abide by the rules and laws of the state government. Anybody found wanting, we\u2019ll not be reliable for the person\u2019s act because the law is the law anywhere. We cannot get our people to protest or take action against the law of the state government. So, that is the resolution we all came about after I called them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some leaders of the Hausa community in Lagos State have appealed to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to reverse the ban on Okada operations in six local government areas of the state.
