21-year-old Kano commercial tricycle operator, Salisu Auwal, who was given the choice of picking four wives from among ten ladies for his honesty in returning N19m left behind in his tricycle has put the ladies in a suspense.
Auwal speaking in an interview disclosed that marriage was not his immediate priority as he disclosed that other men of goodwill have also offered him the opportunity of completing his education which was discontinued because of lack of funds.Speaking in an interview with an Hobnob News correspondent,Auwal when asked if he was offered four wives, the tricycle operator, said:
“Yes, it is true. They offered me four women to marry, even the chairman of the association said his two daughters were included. However, I am not prepared for that commitment. Despite appreciating their gesture, I am not ready at this moment. But I may reconsider it in the future.”
Besides putting the four potential wives in a suspense, Auwal disclosed that he also received other acts of goodwill from well wishers for his gesture in returning the money which he said he never contemplated touching.
According to him he did not even touch the money or count it as he never had the intention of appropriating it.“Yes, I received additional gifts from some individuals.
One person generously gave me a new tricycle and a point-of-sale machine when the person discovered I was not the owner of the tricycle I was riding.
Another person gifted me N100,000 and someone has promised to sponsor my education from SS1 to the tertiary level.
Furthermore, the Kano anti-corruption agency rewarded me with money and designated me as their ambassador,” Auwal, who did not say if he would continue as a tricycle operator said.
