Thousands of tricycle operators in Lagos state, Southwest Nigeria, under the umbrella of Tricycle Owners and Drivers Association of Lagos, TODAL, have endorsed the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential and the Lagos State governorship candidates, General Muhammadu Buhari and Akinwunmi Ambode, respectively, for the coming elections.
The association directed all its members across the state to come out en mass to vote for all APC candidates in Lagos on 28 March and 11 April.
They also enjoined Nigerians to vote for APC candidates to secure the future of the common people.
Making this known on Wednesday, the Lagos State chairman of TODAL, Comrade Babatunde Ayenogun popularly known as Holy Michael, said the association decided to support APC because of the achievements of the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola and the performance of APC governors in other states.
Ayenogun also warned his members to avoid thuggery during and after the elections and said any member involved in thuggery will be sanctioned.
He said that the era of using their members as thugs by any group had passed because their members were responsible people in the society.
On why they endorsed APC, Ayenogun explained that from the manifestoes of all the political parties going for the election, APC’s own was more credible and reliable and enjoined Nigerians to vote for the party.

Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors.
