Video: Okada riders swamp station to meet Mahama

Some members of the Okada Riders Association converged on the premises of Class Media Group (CMG) at Labone in Accra to meet the flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama

The group described the former president as ‘their messiah’ following his promise to legalize the operation of the Okada riders, when he is re-elected come December 7.

A member of the group said: “All road users, their Messiah now is JM because the mess on the road will continue until somebody in leadership takes a bold decision to bring proactive measures or bring pragmatic measures to reduce or stop the carnage on the road”.

“That is exactly what JM said he’ll do.

“We have given his colleague politicians or flagbearers time to come out and tell us what they can do.

“They have rather decided to stay in their comfort zone and rubbish what we’re doing”, he said.

Upon meeting Mr Mahama, the group pledged to rally their support behind him to come into power.

According to them, the NPP government’s consultation on the matter, was only a political gimmick.

He added that: “You [NPP] cannot come to power for almost four years, you’re left with three months, even less than three months to leave the place and you’re now doing consultation, we don’t wash our faces upwards.”
