The National Harmonised Traders Union (NAHTU) have resolved to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the Feb. 16 presidential election.
The President of the union, Alhaji Bature Abdul’aziz, who made the declaration at a news conference in Kano on Wednesday, said the union took the decision after a meeting.
“We have resolved to restate our solidarity for Buhari and recommend that all traders particularly members of the Harmonised Traders Union to vote for President Buhari on Feb. 16,” he said.
The union president said the decision to support Buhari was borne out of the union’s believe that the President was committed to ensuring security and economic development in the country.
According to him, the traders were also satisfied with his achievements so far, especially in efforts toward building a new Nigeria.
Abdul’aziz said this could be seen through efforts in boosting food production, education, health, manufacturing and other sectors.
He said Buhari reelection would ensure the completion of ongoing gigantic projects like Mambilla power and Ajaokuta Steel projects among others.
He, therefore, directed all their members across the country to come out enmasse and vote for President Buhari on Feb. 16.
