Ayo went on to reveal that he would pick people at his discretion.
Why Ayo wants to be carrying people for free
On why he started the free ride, Ayo lamented that one cannot be productive at work after exhausting one's energy trekking.
He added that it is also because the times are difficult. In his words:
"Because how is someone who has trekked all their energy away supposed to be productive at work?
"Times are difficult and we are all we have.
"It’s not kuku like the car will consume more fuel with passengers in it..."
Netizens hailed Ayo's gesture, while some advised him to be careful.
