Nationwide Protest: Participate In Protest And Witness Harsh Penalty — Union Leader Warns Okada Riders
The National President of Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN), Dr. Sotayo Olusola Rasak, has warned that any motorcycle rider in Nigeria who participates in the planned nationwide protest will face stiff penalties.
The MOUN leader, while addressing newsmen at the MOUN National Secretariat Office UTAKO, ABUJA, on Tuesday described the protest as unrealistic and insignificant.
Sotayo stated that Tinubu’s administration is working assiduously to change the current economic narrative.
He appealed to the potential protesters to give the President to fix the nation, adding that one year is too early to judge him.
The Union leader noted that though the increased price of fuel could trigger the riders to join the protest, it is important for them to exercise patience as the president is working on abating the situation.

Sotayo said “The Government understands your frustration and disappointment with the current state of affairs in our beloved country. The struggles we face as a nation are undeniable, and it’s natural to want to take action. However, I strongly advise against embarking on protests.
He said the government is setting different policies to lift the hardships, adding that the federal government is considering strategies that will enable every intervention to go directly to all Nigerians.
The Union leader also said the government is perfecting a scheme to support graduates of universities and polytechnics that were not able to get jobs until they got employed.
He however appealed to all stakeholders, influential and business owners in Nigeria to support the vision of the president in making this Nation the home of opportunities by creating job opportunities and supporting the youth in one or two ways.
