What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bala Bello Tinka, the African Democratic Congress candidate in Gombe State, pledged to review and potentially lift the night-time restriction on commercial motorcycle operations if elected governor in the 2027 election. The restriction, which limits operations to 6am and 7pm, was imposed by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya in June 2025 to curb criminal activities. Tinka stated that he would restore full-time operations, provided effective safety and regulatory measures are introduced.
