Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos vows not to allow ‘agbero’ in the state
The Lagos State Labour Party governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, on Sunday, disclosed that he will enthrone a working transportation system in Lagos if elected governor during the March 11 governorship election.
He also disclosed that he would not allow the ‘agbero’ system, which he claimed, had created a lot of safety hazards in the state.
Rhodes-Vivour stated this during The Platform debate organised for governorship candidates in Lagos on Sunday.
“On road safety in Lagos state, we will not accept the ‘Agbero’ system, which has created a lot of safety hazards in the state.
“We need to train our road enforcement agents and we will also need to ensure that the state set its clear policy on not accepting the Agbero system. All of these, you can only enforce where a system is moving smoothly.
“Our own focus is making sure that we are back on a system that is working smoothly. We are also going to have digital surveillance all across the state so that we can enforce it with evidence, not just hearsay anymore.
“So, the enforcement officers that do not step up to their responsibilities can actually be held accountable and we can hold them to account with evidence,” he said.
