We Are For Public Peace – ACOMORAN

Comrade Solomon Olugbode, the pristine chairman of the association, said this as the chief spokesman of other members during the inauguration of the new association executive in the event that took place in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday.

Olugbode in his address said: “We are coming in at a time when our brand of transportation has been labelled or let me say regarded as a threat to security due to the nefarious activities of some elements which usually hide under the guise of commercial motorcyclists.

“I am using this opportunity to call on every member of this association to please rise to the responsibility of eradicating lawlessness and other forms of immoralities within our state by ensuring that each of us lawfully comports ourselves while discharging our duties and shun all acts capable of breaching public peace.

“We also want to appeal to the government to look into the issue of Okada and tricycle parks which are being controlled by motorists. This, I make bold to say are being carried out violently as many of our parks were hijacked, and this had been the reason for most unruly behaviour being attributed to okada riders especially in Ibadan.”

In his conclusion he guaranteed members of the public in Oyo State as well as the state government of the association’s commitment to the existence of peace in the state, adding that members of ACOMORAN are law-abiding and selflessly willing to round off the government’s effort at making the state habitable for business and other means of occupation.

Alhaji Samsudeen Apelogun, the national president of the association, in his remark charged members to always work towards encouragingly portraying the association’s image positively at every fragment of time.
