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.”
