Members of the association from different parts of the country gathered at the Goodluck/Sambo re-election office located in G.R.A on Monday to declare their support for President Jonathan.
Speaking on behalf of the association, Alhaji Muhammad Sani Hassan, National President, NACTOMORAS informed that Mr. President can count on the votes of its members across the nation.
"It is important to mention that we have about 9million members across the country of which 40 per cent are university graduates and other unemployed school leavers. These riders have three or four members who are dependent on them. This association is the highest employer of Labour in the country and we stand here to be challenged in that regard.
"We have the blessing of the Board of Trustees, National Executive Council, State Executives and members of our association in 36 states of the federation including the FCT to support Jonathan's re-election.
"We have mobilised and mandated all our members to collect their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and urged them to come out en masse to vote accordingly. We have also directed all our members to be peaceful and law abiding during and after the elections and not engage in any act that may result to violence." He added.
Commending the association, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro who was also present at the event said it is a welcome development that the association is identifying with President Jonathan.
"It commendable to note that genuine people who fend so hard for themselves and their family have come to gather to identify with a man of humble background and a unifier per excellence.
"Buhari belongs to our past and that is where he should remain. He does not deserve to rule this country again because he is a dictator. He has nothing to offer this great country of ours.
"We are all aware of the efforts and transformation of President Jonathan in the area of education; he has built more than 138 Almanjeri schools in the north and if Buhari had done even half of what Jonathan has done for the north we would most probably not have the menace of Boko Haram.
"In four years, President Jonathan has built 12 universities, for the first time, Nigeria now exports cement, polio has been eradicated in Nigeria among many other transformational initiatives. Whatever we have, we must commit to ensure that President Jonathan returns to office." Koro added.
