Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Speaker, Idris Wase has urged his colleagues to desist from opposing the planned ban of commercial motorcycles by the federal government.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, had revealed that the government is considering a ban of the popular means of transportation to curb insecurity.<\/p>\n

Mr Wase, on Tuesday, stopped a motion moved by Abubakar Yalleman for the House to urge the federal government to halt the plan.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker called Mr Yalleman and had a private meeting with him. After the meeting, Wase said the lawmakers must back the government in ending insecurity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate his motion and sensibility but in line with our principle to help in curbing the incessant insecurity in our country, we have to corporate with the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of us, 90 percent of my community if not 99 percent, this is the only means of transportation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Wase said the decision to ban Okada has to do with the recent intelligence report of a plan targeting Abuja and environ.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot imagine what is happening today in Abuja. I\u2019ll confirm to you, I went through DSS report \u2014 44 reports were given before the attack of Kuje,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
