The 2019 Presidential candidate and former Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has reacted to the ban of Okada and Keke which commenced on February 1st by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
According to IgbereTV, Ezewkewsili in her statement called on Sanwo-Olu to reverse the Okada and Keke ban in the state.
She said, “It does not have to be like this. No. I am not saying that Governance is easy. Of course not. There will be difficulties. There will always be challenges in Governance. But to consistently offer Governance that only guarantees daily hardship for your Citizens? Come on.”
“As a Leader, even if your people don’t care for themselves, you have a Duty to care for them. Something is congenitally lacking in the DNA of our Public Leadership. Until we fixed this Empathy-Deficit in our Public Governance, Policies will always breed unnecessary hardship.”
“I expect Lagos State Gov to have by now reversed itself on the hasty and poorly designed OkadaKekeBan . Reverse it and stop the unnecessary hardship. Then get back to your Policy Design Table and restart a proper process for solving the Problems originally identified.”
