Tricyclists supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration have journied 757 kilometers from Lagos to Abuja under the banner of the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN).
Babatunde Olisah, the chairman of TOAN’s Ajah branch, stated in an interview with Daily Trust that the visit was made to commemorate the president’s 38 days in office and to ask for his support for young Nigerians in general, and tricycle riders in particular.
He said, “I and my two colleagues Akintade Temitope and Ahmed Bolaji bought these brand new tricycles to embark on this journey.
“We drove 757km from Lagos to Abuja and spent over 17 hours on the road just to rally support for our president and seek his government’s support for the youths, especially our union.
“We spent about N100,000 on fuel for the two tricycles used and had stopovers at Ijebu Ode, Akure and Ore before heading down to Abuja to commend Mr President and seek his support for our youths,” he said.
Describing the experience, Olisah further stated that Nigerians had high expectations from the new government which is evident with the solidarity they received en route to Abuja from Lagos, urging the president not to fail them.
