1. The restriction of Commercial Motorcycle (Okada) operators in some Local Governments in Lagos State is not a new law. It has been in existence for over ten years. We resolved today unanimously that all our members must comply with the provisions of the laws of Lagos State.
We are law abiding and we will always continue to intimate all our members to continue to be law abiding and operate only within the ambits of the law.

3/ This latest ban, being the third time, from 3 successive admins in Lagos- @tundefashola, @AkinwunmiAmbode & now @jidesanwoolu came in what @followlasg has tagged #ForAGreaterLagos. Whatever this slogan means for the new admin of @jidesanwoolu remains to be seen fully by 2023.
