Fifteen thousand members of the Kwara State Joint Tricycle Association have joined other well meaning Kwarans in endorsing the ambition of the State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, to represent Kwara South Senatorial District.
During a solidarity rally to Government House, Ilorin on Friday, the Chairman of the Association, Prince Duro Oyebade, who led other members of the 16 tricyclist associations, emphasised that they were solidly behind the governor in accomplishing his senatorial ambition.
Oyebade also promised to work assiduously to ensure the emergence of Ahmed as the next senator to represent Kwara South Senatorial District.
The association praised Ahmed for his various masses-oriented projects like affordable SME Scheme and the purchase of 250 tricycles for its members and stressed that the governor deserves the senatorial seat for better representation.
According to him: “All members of our 16 tricycle associations fully identify with you and your ambition to represent the good people of Kwara South Senatorial District and we have resolved to work towards the actualisation of your ambition.”
In his response, Governor Ahmed expressed gratitude to the associations for the endorsement of his quest to become a senator and also solicited the association’s support for the presidential ambition of the Preside of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
Ahmed pledged to continue the implementation of masses oriented projects till the expiration of his tenure, emphasising that all ongoing projects would be carried to fruition.
