Tricyclists ride from Lagos to Abuja to mark President Tinubu’s 38 days in office

Three tricyclists, Babatunde Olisah, Akintade Temitope and Ahmed Bolaji, rode from Lagos to Abuja to rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

The tricyclists, under the auspices of the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN), covered a distance of 757 kilometres and spent over 17 hours on the road to get to Abuja.

In an interview with Daily Trust, Olisah said the visit was to mark Tinubu’s 38 days in office.

Olisah, who is the Chairman of TOAN, Ajah branch, added that the gesture is to also seek President Tinubu’s support for the Nigerian youths, especially the tricycle riders.

He urged the president not to fail the people because Nigerians have high expectations of his administration.

He said: “I and my two colleagues, Akintade Temitope and Ahmed Bolaji, bought these brand-new tricycles to embark on this journey.

“We drove 757km from Lagos to Abuja and spent over 17 hours on the road just to rally support for our president and seek his government’s support for the youths, especially our union.

“We spent about N100,000 on fuel for the two tricycles used and had stopovers at Ijebu Ode, Akure and Ore before heading down to Abuja to commend Mr President and seek his support for our youths.”
