The leadership of the Association of Greater Accra Okada Riders has met the National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Sammi Awuku and the Greater Accra Regional Youth Organizer, Moses Abor to discuss future plans of the NPP government for okada riders.

According to the President of the Association, Gambila Mohammed, the meeting with Sammi Awuku afforded them the opportunity to broach the proposed comprehensive policy of the government regarding the leasing of cars as announced by His Excellency, Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to support okada riders to better their lives.

Gambila Mohammed also clearly reminded the NPP National Organizer of their commitment to create job opportunities for okada riders and “making education much more accessible to enable us and our households acquire some appreciable degree of skills and knowledge to pursue any ambition of our choices”.

“That okada business is not a sustainable job; that okada business is very risky or deadly, that joblessness compelled them to undertake okada business as a source of sustaining their livelihoods.”

They are of the greatest conviction that Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's option to support them to secure sustainable jobs is the suitable way.

They reposed confidence in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his credibility and incorruptible character.

This credibility is borne out of the fact that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has fulfilled almost every promise within the three and half years mandate entrusted to him by Ghanaians.
