The National Commercial Tricycle and Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association (NATOMORAS) has called on President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima to fulfill their campaign promise of 2,000 CNG tricycles, warning that failure to do so may trigger a nationwide peaceful protest.

NATOMORAS National President, Usman Gwoza, expressed deep disappointment and frustration over the government’s neglect of their association despite their significant support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2023 elections.

“We showed our numbers, we showed our strength, and we stood tall for the All Progressive Congress,” Gwoza said, recounting the association’s active involvement in the APC campaign. “We did this without collecting a single kobo. Our members also worked as polling agents, mobilisers, and volunteers from polling units to wards, to LGAs, and states.

The NATOMORAS leader pointed out a specific unfulfilled promise: “On October 1, 2024, the Honourable Minister declared that 2,000 CNG tricycles had been handed over to NATOMORAS. But up till now, we have not seen even a tyre, let alone CNG.”

Gwoza questioned the silence despite the association’s size and significance: “This organisation that controls over 18 million registered members – how can the president of the country deny us? How?”

“We are calling on President Tinubu to fulfil your promise to us,” Gwoza appealed. “Vice President Shettima, ‘You stood before us and made a vow. Keep it.'”

The association feels abandoned, used, and betrayed, and is demanding that the Federal Government fulfill its promises. If the promises are not fulfilled, NATOMORAS may mobilize its members to peacefully protest nationwide
