“Tinubu is the incoming president,” he said while paying a courtesy call on the Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwan Adamu, in his palace yesterday.
A huge crowd of party faithful and supporters welcomed the APC campaign train to Bauchi, the capital of Bauchi State. House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila explained why the North should vote for Tinubu, saying that voting for him will validate their loyalty to the president and the ruling party.
He said Tinubu had stood behind President Buhari in two previous elections, adding that it was time the supporters of the president also rallied around him for the February poll.
APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary Yakubu Ajaka said the days of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were numbered in the State House, advising Governor Bala Mohammed to prepare his handover notes.
Urging the people to reject PDP, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, said the party had abandoned the Northeast to the Boko Haram insurgency.
Before kicking off the rally at the Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Buhari, Tinubu, APC National Chairman Senator Abdullahi Adamu and other party leaders paid a courtesy call on the Emir of Bauchi. The president was led to the ancient palace by Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, who thanked him for the Kolomani oil wells at the boundary of Bauchi and Gombe states.
President Buhari tendered his stewardship, saying: “In 2003 and 2012, I visited all the 774 local government areas in this country, and in 2019 when I was contesting for the second term, I visited all the states.
“So, there, I made the promise and the pledge that I will serve Nigeria and Nigerians to the best of my ability.”
The Emir thanked the president for the visit and urged politicians to play politics without bitterness.
While commending the governor for ensuring a level playing ground for all political parties in the state, the royal father wished the president a safe trip.
President buhari is indid a honest and faithful leader for supporting jagaban in his role in 2015 for the president.
This will be possible when all Nigerians will be turned to goats.
Party Man
Mohammadu Buhari. After your failed Presidency, laden with massive killings, unemployment,nepotism, collapse economy, immeasurable insecurity, millions of out of school children etc; you still want a truly an unknown Tinubu to step forward and continue with the damage?
May God deliver us in this country so that generation yet unborn will not curse this present generation.
Hhhhhh,huhuhuhu BUHARI,unmmm
You have no right to decide who the next president should be…….it’s one man, one vote! Just pack your load and vamoose……Nigerians have had enough of your change!You & your party are a woeful failure
We want competence, character not Emilokan
But now waiting you want do now, Jagaban is next president like it or leave it
We are sincererity of mind,PMB should wash his hands from whomsoever will became his successor.
Any statement that is trouble instigating should be avoided.
Tinibu did not have the capability to govern this nation.
The God of heaven will disappoint you in Jesus name…..
It is only you that pretend not to see various achievement by BUHARI.it is not easy to clear 16yrs rot in 8yrs.Buhari has laid the foundation e.g.madsive infrastructure development on roads, railuway, refinery:modular and Dangote refinery.airport development in six states,discovery new oil well in the north,first deep sea port in Lagos.etc All these will have both short run positive effect on the economy.pls shine your eyes and live triabalism out of your mind.
So you have already finished with the election before the votes are cast abi? Ok ooh. God dey. We shall see how you’ll hand over to Tinubu. Nigeria is not for sale. Just make sure you are prepared to go to another civil war if you rig this election. You will not have one Nigeria to rule again but as many nations as are possible that will emerge after the war.
Nigerians were to carry one more time
