How Can You Promise To Legalise Okada In A 21st Century? It’s A Joke – Ayariga Slams Mahama

Founder and Leader of the All People’s Congress (APC) Hassan Ayariga has ridiculed the promise of former president John Dramani Mahama to legalise Okada if he is elected president again on December 7.

Speaking on TV3’s Elections Command Centre, Ayariga described the promise as a joke which must not be taken serious because the youth in the country deserves sustainable jobs.

He said, “The issue of NDC talking about legalising Okada, let us put this joke aside. How can legalizing Okada be a campaign promise in the 21st Century? What is Okada? I have five motorbikes at home, I grew up riding motor bikes and I picked my sisters and brothers anytime on motorbikes.”

“It was never banned, it is another means of transportation. If you cannot afford a car you can afford a motorbike. The difference between Okada and the one we carry our brothers and sisters on is the exchange of money.”

“So if you come and sit down on TV and make so much noise that you are going to legalise it, Ghanaians won’t take you serious. I won’t take you serious because you are out of touch of reality. They have taken Ghana for granted. Create jobs for the youth, Okada is a means of transport.”
