Bakare said, “We do appreciate the work of the Federal Road Safety Corps in ensuring that our roads are safe and secure and the need to strengthen road safety procedures to ensure that travel on our roads are safe, both for the public and for all road users.” He questioned the rationale behind criminalising preaching in commercial vehicles, insisting that the legislation gives the impression of being directed at Christians. He stated, “We actually don’t understand why legislators who never enter commercial vehicles understand and believe that people who preach in commercial vehicles are distracting drivers. According to him, bus hawking is not a matter of choice but a symptom of widespread poverty and unemployment. PFN maintained that while road safety remained important, legislative measures should not infringe on constitutional freedoms or further burden economically vulnerable Nigerians.
