Nine tricycles associations in Kano State have resolved to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna on Saturday.
The tricycle operators made the position public at a gathering yesterday in Kano after agreeing on some terms that will enhance their business in the state.
The chairman of the operators, Tanimu Mansur, said the amalgamation would vote Gawuma because he had promised to secure their business, empower them, include them in decision-making and provide them loans.
He said, “After due consultations with the nine associations that are in this amalgamation, we have all signed and agreed that our governorship candidate is Dr Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, we are going to vote for him.
“This decision was reached when we presented our demands to him and he accepted to fulfil them and even set other measures that will secure and improve our business,” he stated.
Responding on behalf of Gawuna at the event, Uba Danzainab, the director-general, Kano Cottage Industries, said he was overwhelmed by the gathering and the way he saw tricycle operators giving out two hours of their time to show support for the APC candidate.
“I am overwhelmed with this gathering; I am very pleased that a busy people whose time is money will come together to express support and endorse our governorship candidate Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna and his running mate Murtala Sule Garo.
“I assure you that His Excellency Nasiru Gawuna is with you in your decision and all the promises made shall be fulfilled,” he stated.
