I’ll honour my promise and legalize ‘Okada’ operations – Mahama

The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says he will honour the promise made to the Okada Riders Association to legalize their operations.

In an address at a durbar of Okada riders at Ashaiman in Accra, the former president assured the riders that their operation would be legalized when he wins the 2024 elections.

He further stated their operation would also be safe from police harassment.

“Our 2024 manifesto will restate my promise to legalize commercial motorbike operations, ‘okada.’

“Okada riders and owners will finally be liberated in 2025 and can go about their business, insure their bikes, get licensed to ride okada, be free from police harassment, provide services to the many who need them, and fend for themselves and their families,” the former president stated.
