Gov Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has revealed that his administration has no plan to ban commercial motorcycle operators, otherwise known as ‘Okada riders’ from plying their trade in the state.
He , however, said that his government would pay particular attention on the safety of both the operators and their passengers through proper monitoring by relevant agencies.

The Governor , who spoke during his monthly media chat “Meet Your Governor,” Sunday night,  also urged politicians in the state to conduct themselves within the ambit of the law as the state approaches the 2014 governorship election, saying all he craved was that politicians should give peace a chance so that Ekiti will not relapse into a state of anarchy.
