Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode has shunned the use of siren just like his predecessor, former Governor Babatunde Fashola.
Ambode was quoted to have said he was in saddle to serve the people of the state and not to be harassing them by blaring siren while passing.
The Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Habib Haruna who disclosed his boss’s decision on Siren said since he assumed office over a week ago, the governor has refused to use the siren, preferring to stay in traffic rather than harass the citizens with siren.
“In fact, last Tuesday, when the governor was going to the airport to travel to Abuja, he was held up in traffic on Awolowo Way, Ikeja for about 30 minutes. He did not use the siren to pave way for himself.
“He just remained in the traffic patiently for 30 minutes. People who saw him in the traffic were hailing him for being a good example and wished him well,” Aruna said.
