By JACOB ONJEWU DICKSON

The former Speaker of Zamfara  State House of Assembly, Hon. Sanusi Rikiji said arrangements have been concluded  to use operation 30:30 to mobilize over seven million artisans across Nigeria to vote the All Progressives Congress(APC) flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima during the forthcoming coming Presidential election.

Hon. Sanusi Rikiji, who lead members of the Directorate of Artisans and Technicians  to join the mammoth crowd of supporters  at the Wednesday rally at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano State for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, was overtly elated at the turn out of persons at the venue of the rally.

The group of Artisans at event carried banners and placards with inscriptions such as :”On your mandate ,we shall stand”;”Vote wisely. Tinubu /shettima 2023″, “Vote The nation Builder,”Vote Tinubu /Shettima for better Nigeria”,”The  Artisans are with you Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” and several others.”

The Lady President of  Association of Nigeria Artisans and Technicians (ASNAT) and Deputy Director of the Directorate of Artisans, North west zone- Mrs Jaiyeola Onipede Olatunji, when interviewed during the rally, said that they are convinced  that Tinubu  would deliver his campaign promises after seeing how he transformed Lagos and created conducive working environment for artisans and technicians during his days as governor.

“We are also sure that artisans will have opportunities to grow their businesses  and create job opportunities with the proactive manifesto put forward ahead of the election,” she added.

In a chat with some journalists after the event, Hon. Sanusi Garba Rikiji, who is the Chief of Staff to the Speaker House of Representatives, said Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has built bridges across Nigeria, hence deserved the support of Nigerians across the six geo-political zones.

He however said, ” For the first time in the history of Nigeria, artisans that constitute the highest number of members across the country are singled out  and recognized by a political party and body.”

While noting that Asiwaju  has left no stone unturned in reaching out to those that matters at all grassroots levels, Rikiji disclosed, “We  registered members about 7.5 million across Nigeria, those we have their contacts and we are doing everything humanly possible to bring them together to vote Tinubu/Shettima.

“We have not only adopted  all the necessary strategies, but also have  mobilized the over seven million members to vote in bulk for Asiwaju of the APC for President come February 25, 2023.” He emphasised.
