2023: RTEAN declares support for Tinubu
Musa Muhammed, the national president of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), has said its association is backing the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tinubu is the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 general elections.
The transport association said it supported the APC in 2015 and would do the same in 2023.
“The leadership of the union remains staunch supporter of the second term ambition of Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC Presidential candidate in 2023.
“I am still a bonafide member of APC; I have not belonged to any other political party since 2015.
“Our support is for APC and the Lagos State Government.
“As Lagos Government is for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition, we are also for Asiwaju,” Muhammed said.
According to him, the union came out boldly in 2015 and 2019 to support the APC and would do the same in 2023.
The RTEAN president described the performance of Sanwo-Olu in Lagos as sterling, adding that Tinubu had also done a lot in developing and empowering many people across the nation.
“I, as a card-carrying member of APC, throw my weight behind APC from local government level to the federal level with all my members,” he added.
Muhammed said that the harmonious relationship the union had been having with the Lagos State Government would continue.
He said that the leadership of the union would soon stage a rally to demonstrate its support for the ruling party in the state.
“We have also ordered all our members to go and pick up their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
“Soon, we are going out for operation show your voter cards throughout the Federation.
“In our upcoming mega rally, all members will showcase their PVCs,” Muhammed said.
