Less than 60 days to the 2023 election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu continued his nationwide campaign rally in Kano on Wednesday, urging the people of the state to vote for him in next month’s presidential poll.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Tinubu who had been in Kano since midnight of Monday, where he met with Muslim leaders from the North-West in a town hall meeting on Tuesday said he has what it takes to continue “the developmental strides started by President Muhammadu Buhari after the 16 inglorious years of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in power”.
A mammoth crowd of supporters had thronged the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano venue of the rally.
An elated Tinubu said all he wanted to do was just dance. And while dancing to an Hausa music, he thanked the people, saying in Hausa “Mungode, mungode, mungode.”
However, in his prepared text, he told Kano State people not to be deceived by allowing the PDP to return to power under any guise as, according to him, it would be a return to maladministration in all areas.
He accused the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of not having anything to offer after being part of the PDP administration that plundered Nigeria’s wealth as vice president.
According to the APC flag-bearer, River State Governor Nyesom Wike was right after all when he declared that Atiku had no integrity.
He accused Atiku of establishing a university too expensive for Nigerians to attend while in office as Vice President.
In attendance at the rally were the party’s National Chairman Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Vice Presidential Candidate Senator Kashim Shettima, Senate President Senator Ahmed Lawan, and Chairman, Progressives Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kebbi, Senator Atiku Bagudu.
