The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor), has said that he would put an end to all excesses of motor park and transport unions touts if he becomes governor of the state in 2023.

He made this revelation while speaking on Sunday evening at the formal presentation of Pastor Umo Eno, the Akwa Ibom State PDP Governorship Candidate to indigenes of the state living in Lagos state.

Adediran declared his readiness to give residents of the state a new sense of belonging.

Reports have it that the event took place at the Nigerian Airforce, Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria ((JDWAN)) on Sunday also declared its intention to begin its proposed seven-day strike from Monday.

The 7 day strike which is to begin is an agitation against alleged harassment and extortion from the managers of motor park and thugs otherwise known as Agbero.

Adediran, who hosted the congregation, said: “We will provide a new leadership in Lagos State.

“We will check the excesses of motor touts as well as Iyaloja and Babaloja in the state.

“Anyone that closes any market in the state would be sent to prison. I am not going to have any godfather.

“We will ensure that any money collected as revenue in Lagos State is spent for the people of the state as against what is currently obtainable in the state.”
