ONITSHA— Motorcycles importers and spare parts dealers across the nation may have indicated their decision to cast protest votes against ruling parties across the states of the federation which placed a ban on okada business.
Chairman of Nnewi Importers Association, Pastor L. O. Chukwuma, who disclosed this in Nnewi, Anambra State, yesterday, after a brief meeting of the association to discuss its stake in the forth-coming elections, said the decision to cast protest votes during the election was taken in Nnewi where the bulk of major importers and dealers operate.
He said the decision would be circulated to other parts of the country where dealers in motorcycles and their spare parts were domiciled.
Chukwuma said he importers observed that politicians had continued to use motorcycles as campaign gifts to Okada operators and other voters only to ban their business after being voted into power.
He said: “Politicians give their gifts with one hand and use another hand to collect them back from you after the electioneering campaigns.
“They give out motorcycles to Okada people in the name of poverty alleviation and once they are elected as governors, the next thing is to ban Okada riding and throw thousands of people out of job. That is wickedness.”
