Beware of APC’ s bait , Lagos PDP tells okada riders Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) on Wednesday described the All Progressives Congress ( APC) as a party notorious for deliberately misrepresenting facts to deceive Lagosians and malign the PDP . It has also warned commercial motorcyclists in the state to be wary of the antics of the state government to bribe them by temporarily allowing them on restricted roads ahead of the coming elections. The party , in a rebuttal of a report credited to the APC state Chairman , Oladele Ajomale, that the PDP is behind the return of commercial motorcyclists ( okada riders ) on Lagos roads , said the statement is a figment of Ajomale’s imagination . In a statement by its publicity secretary , Taofik Gani , the PDP further described Ajomale’s accusation as disgraceful and mischievous , adding that it is the APC that has now decided to allow the okada riders , beggars and street traders to return on all Lagos roads in a bid to secure their votes in the forthcoming general elections. “ For sake of clarity , PDP will not undermine the rights of Lagosians to move around or do business within the acceptable and humane rules. “ We shall indeed allow enabling environment for all to eke out a living lawfully . We are thus surprised that the APC can at this time accuse the PDP of violating a draconian law that they had enforced for over three years. “ It is a known fact that it is the APC populated Lagos State House of Assembly that is presently considering a law to allow okada riders return on restricted roads . “ It is also a fact that the Governor has directed the state enforcement units to suspend the arrest of ‘okada’ riders , beggars and street traders . This is in a bid to woo the aggrieved people into voting for APC in coming election
