Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has shunned the use of siren, saying he does not want to harass Lagosians with its use. Since he assumed office a week ago, the governor has refused to use the siren, preferring to stay in traffic rather than harass the citizens with siren.
Last week, while travelling to Abuja, Ambode remained in the heavy traffic on Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja for about 30 minutes, refusing to use the siren. Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Habib Aruna, when asked why the governor had shunned the use of siren, said this was the style he wanted to adopt in governing Lagos State and assured that in the next four years, the governor’s convoy would not blare the siren.
Aruna stated that the governor did not believe in using the siren to oppress people on the road, saying that what is paramount was to deliver good governance to the people of Lagos State.
