Ekiti State Government has said it has no intention to proscribe commercial motorcycle operation popularly known as Okada riders in the State.
The Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi revealed that the intention of the state government was to promote peace and unity among transport associations.

A statement on Wednesday signed by the Special Assistant (Media) to the Deputy Governor, Odunayo Ogunmola, quotes Egbeyemi as warning okada riders against being used to perpetrate crime in the state.
According to him, government would not tolerate any act of indiscipline or lawlessness among transport associations.
The deputy governor observed that some of their (Okada riders) members have been alleged of engaging in unholy acts like bag snatching, pick pocketing, wailing of banks customers after withdrawing money from the bank and other nefarious acts.
Egbeyemi encouraged the leadership of the association to device measures of addressing the problem in the interest of the peace.
He said: “We want peace to reign in your association, we don’t want factions among you. We want you to be under one umbrella, to allow the government to stand by you.
“I pray that God will give your association the ability to maintain peace and to achieve success. We need your support and government will also support you.
“Once you are united you become formidable for anyone to destabilize your association.
“Against the rumour that we will bar you if we get elected into office, have we barred your association since we assumed office? Our government had no intention of barring okada riders from working in the State. All we want is peace.
“You have to checkmate those that are found of engaging in criminal activities across the State under the guise of being Okada riders.

Ashaolu expressed confidence in the leadership of Fayemi led administration and promised to maintain peace in the State.
Adegboyega demanded that the modality adopted by the association in generating internal revenue for the government should be allowed to remain.
He concerned about some individuals portraying themselves as government representatives in the interest of causing a divide and rule among the association.
