Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated he will honour the promise made to the Okada Riders Association to legalize their operations.

During an address at a durbar of Okada riders in Ashaiman, the former president assured the riders that their operations would be legalized should he win the 2024 elections.

He further stated that their operations would also be safe from police harassment.

Mahama said, "Our 2024 manifesto will restate my promise to legalize commercial motorbike operations, 'Okada'.

"Okada riders and owners will finally be liberated in 2025 and can go about their business, insure their bikes, get licensed to ride Okada, be free from police harassment, provide services to the many who need them, and fend for themselves and their families," the former president stated.
