Jandor challenges Sanwo- Olu to fitness walk, Condemns Ban On Okada Operations

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Lagos state, Dr.Olajide Adediran, popularly called Jandor, has challenged the incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to prove that he is medically fit to continue to govern the state by engaging in a road walk across the political wards.

Adediran, who made the remark while addressing some of his supporters at Carter Street, Ebute Metta, Yaba on Saturday, maintained that it is through the fitness walk that the people could assess Sanwo-Olu if he has the physical and mental health to continue to govern the state.

Adediran, who addressed the Council of Arewa Chiefs in the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa of Lagos state, urged the people to unite in voting out the All Progressives Congress, APC, adding that they cannot be intimidated to vote against their choice on election day.

He said that he was aware of the challenges the Arewa community faces in the state, promising to create enabling environment for the growth of their businesses.

Adediran said that the state government’s ban on motorcycles was counterproductive as the government did not provide an alternative source of income for the operators, condemning the profiling of a particular ethnic group as criminals who used motorcycles to commit crimes.

According to him, “It is wrong for the government to conclude that your people use motorcycles to commit a crime. There are criminals among all ethnic groups in Lagos, it is not peculiar to your people.

“If I become Governor, instead of me to ban, I will rather sit with the Sarkins and discuss how we could fish out the bad eggs among the riders and punish them rather than taking their source of livelihood.

“The APC government does not appreciate your economic contribution to the state that is why the governor decided to ban motorcycles without creating an alternative source of income for you people.
