Oyat warned that commuters are already stranded and fares are rising because no immediate alternatives have been provided. She urged the government to temporarily deploy institutional buses to ease the shortage, especially ahead of schools reopening.

Oyat criticised the outcomes of the January 2026 general elections and said the upcoming local council elections present another opportunity for citizens to elect leaders who will protect their rights and promote development.

“Any person who has carried him as the party leader shall be individually responsible for their harmful actions unless he or she has been given that mandate by the party leader’s conference, through the rightful process,” Oyat said.
