‎Over 2,000 commercial motorcycle operators across the 18 local government areas of Ondo State on Tuesday trooped out to declare their support for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu ahead 2027.

The commercial motorcyclists, under the auspices of the Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria, also expressed their readiness to work for the President to have a landslide victory in the forthcoming presidential poll in the Sunshine State.

Speaking at the endorsement, which took place at the office of the Asiwaju Mandate Group in Akure, the state chairman of ACOMORAN, Mr. Akinlolu Olumonrin, said the group’s decision followed a thorough assessment of the President’s performance nationwide.

‎

‎According to him,  members of the association were convinced that Tinubu remained the best candidate to sustain ongoing developmental programmes and policies across the country.

He said, ‎“We have looked into everything he has done in Nigeria and discovered he is the only person who can continue the job so that the programme will not stop.

‎”We tried a lot to make ACOMORAN visible in Ondo State; we wrote many letters and even sued the government, but we did not achieve anything. We discovered that if we go through the President, then it may come to reality, that is why we decided to fully support Tinubu for the second time in Nigeria.”

‎The ACOMORAN chairman also urged members to remain law-abiding, stressing the need for discipline among operators to safeguard their reputation and ensure public trust.

‎Olumonrin, however, appealed to the Federal Government to address the rising cost of fuel and the country’s general economic hardship, noting that transport operators were among the worst affected.

‎”We believe there is hope and that things will improve very soon, but we want the President to help find solutions to the hike in prices,” he urged.

‎

‎In his remarks at the ceremony, the Director-General of the Asiwaju Mandate Group, Olumuyiwa Asagunla, said the endorsement by the commercial motorcyclists riders would further boost the chances of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state ahead the general election next year.

‎

‎He commended the Minister of Interior, Mr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his interventions, noting that various groups had continued to align with the party in recent months.
