Alake urged all Okada Commercial Motorcycle Riders To Emulate Safety Consciousness of Sporting Bikers.
The Egba Apex Monarch noted that the Bikers were always conscious that they were sometimes riding along with their wives as pillion riders, adding that, they could be prone to vehicular mishaps, which made them to navigate with good road manners, etiquettes and road safety laws.
