2027: ADC Gov’ship Candidate Vows to Lift Night Motorcycle...
原文原文 / Original TextThe African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Gombe State, Bala Bello Tinka, has pledged to review the restrictions placed on commercial motorcycle operators, popularly known as Achaba, by the state government if elected.
Daily Trust reports that Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya had in June 2025 imposed a night time restriction on commercial motorcycle operations, in Gombe metropolis and environs from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM to reduce crime.
Speaking while addressing residents and supporters across Gombe metropolis, Tinka said if elected, he would lift the restrictions on Achaba operations, subject to appropriate safety and regulatory measures, and allow operators to resume full-time services across the state.
He specifically promised to restore 24-hour Achaba operations, arguing that thousands of young people depend on the business for their livelihoods, while many residents rely on commercial motorcycles for transportation, particularly during late hours.
Tinka also outlined key priorities that would guide the early months of his administration, saying he would take decisive action against phone and handbag snatching if elected governor.
The ADC candidate said that within the first two months of assuming office, his administration would take firm measures to tackle street crime, particularly the activities of criminals who snatch mobile phones and handbags from residents, motorists and pedestrians.
He said residents should be able to move freely within their communities without fear of criminal attacks, adding that his administration would strengthen security efforts and work closely with relevant security agencies and community stakeholders to address street-level crime.
Tinka also reiterated his commitment to free education from primary school through university, saying the policy would ensure that children from poor and less privileged families are not denied educational opportunities because of financial constraints.
