The Lagos State PDP Governorship candidate, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), said he would end all excesses of transport unions and motor park touts if elected governor in 2023.
He stated this while speaking at the formal presentation of the PDP Governorship Candidate in Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, on Sunday evening.
Adediran said he is prepared to give residents of the state a new lease on life.
This comes after the joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria (JDWAN) commenced its proposed 7-day strike over alleged extortion and harassment from the motor park management and thugs popularly known as Agbero.
Reacting to the proposed strike, Adediran said: “We will provide new leadership in Lagos State. We will check the excesses of motor touts as well as Iyaloja and Babaloja in the state.
“Anyone that closes any market in the state would be sent to prison. I am not going to have any godfather.
“We will ensure that any money collected as revenue in Lagos State is spent for the people of the state as against what is currently obtainable in the state.”
