A Group, National Commercial Tricycle and Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (NACTMORAN) has endorsed the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress Party (NDCP), Dr. Johnson A Edosomwan, for the 2019 general elections.

The association led by its leaders from the 19 Northern States including Katsina State, home of President Muhammadu Buhari declared their support at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.

The Chairman of NACTOMORAN Board of Trustees Musa Ishaku, said the choice of the NDCP came because of its program for the masses and the integrity of Edosomwan and his running mate, Nasiru Mohammed who is also the secretary of NACTOMORAN in the 19 northern states.

Ishaku said, “We believe in the manifesto of the NDCP and its programs for the masses. The candidates are men of honor and integrity that mean well for the people and have impacted on lives. We want a government that can meet the yearnings and aspiration of the people”.

In his response, Edosomwan said the party stands for value, integrity and economic prosperity adding: “We are looking forward to create an economy that will create job for the youths, opportunities for women and infrastructure that will support the economy to produce and yield the dividends of democracy.

“We are going to work to improve our Gross National Income to nine per cent from the two per cent that is in existence today.

We are going to sensitize the people to know that the election is about our lives, betterment of our future and to educate them not to sell their votes. If we do this, Nigeria will be respected more by the outside world”.

The Presidential candidate promised that nobody would be discriminated against on the basis of religion or ethnicity, if elected as president saying he will ensure that money voted for projects will be judiciously used as may be appropriated.
