We have over 9 million members that we are controlling in the country. Apart from that, we also have people we are partnering with in our transport sector like dealers, importers and the spare parts sellers and those that are selling food to our members.
Our mother-in-laws and our fathers-in-law, all of them are going to team up with the association and vote massively when the presidential election comes on March 28, for President Goodluck Jonathan.
By the grace of God, we are going to mobilise nothing less than ten million votes for him.
It is a good thing to show appreciation when somebody has done something good for you.
The Keke operators were having problem here and there before now and the President assisted us with a number of Keke that we distributed to all the states of the federation and that served as a big relief to all our members.
In most of the states, many of our members have been banned from operating and this made many of them to be off the roads. But the President has helped us to come back to the roads again. For this, we really have to show appreciation to him.
