In a spirited gathering on Friday, John Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), met with members of the Okada Riders Association in Ashaiman. The interaction, which saw a significant turnout of enthusiastic riders, was a pivotal moment for Mahama’s 2024 presidential campaign.
During the meeting, the Okada riders openly pledged their support for Mahama, reaffirming their commitment to his vision for Ghana. The former president, who has consistently advocated for the regularization and legalization of commercial motorbike operations, reiterated his promise to the riders.
Mahama outlined a comprehensive plan to introduce various regulations aimed at ensuring the safety and proper training of both riders and passengers. He emphasized the importance of creating a structured framework that would not only boost the livelihoods of the Okada riders but also enhance road safety across the country.
The NDC leader’s proposal includes mandatory training programs for riders, the introduction of safety gear requirements, and the establishment of designated routes and operational zones for commercial motorbikes. These measures, Mahama assured, would transform the Okada sector into a well-regulated and respected mode of transportation.
“Legalizing and regulating Okada operations is not just about creating jobs; it’s about ensuring the safety and security of all Ghanaians. We will implement a robust system that supports the riders and protects the passengers,” Mahama stated.
The interaction in Ashaiman marks a significant boost for Mahama’s campaign, as he continues to build momentum and garner support from various sectors of the society. The Okada riders’ endorsement is expected to play a crucial role in the upcoming elections, reflecting the growing grassroots support for Mahama’s progressive policies.
As the 2024 elections approach, Mahama’s pledge to the Okada riders highlights his commitment to inclusive economic policies and his vision for a safer, more prosperous Ghana.
