The Amalgamated Commercial Tricycle and Motorcycle Owners,
Repairs and Riders Association of Nigeria has said that it would not allow
their members to be used for electoral violence in the forthcoming general
elections.
The association, however, promised to deliver 12 million
votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in the February election.
Addressing journalists on Wednesday in Abuja, the secretary
of the BoT, Ado Ibrahim, said a seminar had been organised to sensitise members
on the need to shun violence and thuggery during the 2019 general elections.
He said, “We have organised a seminar for our members to
ensure that they are not used by politicians for violence during the election
next month. The seminar will be a continuous exercise, we are training them to
ensure that they don’t engage in violence and thuggery during the election.
“We as a body have been educating our members across the
country to shun any act of political thuggery, vote buying and any other act
that might bring the name of the association to disrepute for a hitch-free
election.”
Ibrahim announced the dissolution of the National Executive
Committee of the association by the Board of Trustees.
He said a caretaker committee to be headed by Musa Isiyaku
as chairman and Saheed Folaranmi as Secretary would henceforth run the affairs
of the association.
“The committee shall organise and conduct election into
various offices of the national executive committee in accordance with the
provisions of our constitution.”
On declaring support for the president, Ibrahim said the
association believed in the leadership of Buhari more than any person.
“As an association that walks its talk, we want to assure president Mohammadu Buhari
that ACOMORAN believes in his leadership and will deliver to him a minimum of
Twelve Million Votes come the 16th of February, 2019. He has done well and
should be trusted for another four years.”
