Abdurrahman Muhammad, who retired from driving after working in GANO Motors for 44 years, said the transport company had been in existence for over five decades. He said the company was known to use old American Ford vehicles to convey goods from Gano community to various parts of the country, as well as render other services.

Gano, a community in Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area of Kano State, is admired in most parts of the North, not only because of its proximity to Kano city or being located along the popular Kano-Maiduguri expressway, but for being home to a transportation company that has been consistent in using Ford vehicles manufactured in the 1960s and 1970s to render services. In fact, the town is synonymous to Ford vehicles. 

Although Gano is an agrarian community, many of its residents also engage in trading, which takes them from one local market to another; hence the need for a strong brand of vehicles for easy movement.

Daily Trust Saturday gathered that in the past, the vehicles transported farm produce like onions, tomatoes and pepper to the southern part of the country, especially Lagos and Port Harcourt, but now, they hardly risk going that far because the vehicles are old and cannot withstand the rigors of a long journey.

Why I Withdrew From Ondo Guber Race — Eyitayo Jegede

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state in 2020, Chief Eyitayo Jegede, on Thursday, said he withdrew from the 2024 governorship race to give room for unity and ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.

Jegede who noted that disunity has not allowed any candidate from that party to win the governorship race in the state, said he chose to sacrifice his ambition for the development of the party.

This is just as a group within the party, PDP Crusader, hailed the decision of Jegede to step aside in the forthcoming governorship election in the state in order to build a strong and united party that can send the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) packing in the state.

The Coordinator of the PDP Crusader, Hon Mayokun Akinmoladun, said the group was ready to follow and support Jegede in any decision he took on the party’s primary and the November 16 governorship election.

Akinmoladun said the most important thing to the party is to come together and rescue the state, noting that the party was not being run the way it was supposed to be.

He said the party may go into extinction if care is not taken, and commended Jegede for financing the party since it lost the governorship seat some eight years ago.
