Apparently overwhelmed by the mammoth crowd of his teeming supporters who had thronged the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano for his presidential campaign rally, the foremost presidential candidate in the country and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, showed off his dancing skills as he appreciated the good people of Kano for their unflinching support for his anticipated victory at the polls come February 25, 2023.
The former Lagos State governor in his terse remarks appreciated the people saying ‘Nagode’ as he reaffirmed his commitment to bringing sustainable peace and harmony to Nigeria when elected.
“I have come to Kano, all I want to do is dance. I will give you peace and harmony and will serve Nigeria. Nagode sosai” he said.
The host governor, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, in his address, referred to Tinubu as Ashiru Bala Ahmad Tanimu in place of Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu adding that he is at home.
He described the mammoth crowd as the “Arafat of politics in Kano” while also describing it as the largest democratic state crowd in Nigeria.
Ganduje confirmed that the people of Kano have accepted Tinubu because of his credentials, capacity and credibility adding that he is tested and trusted while he served as the governor of Lagos state.
The leader of the Progressive Governors Forum, Abubakar Bagudu dismissed allegations that there are APC governors negotiating with the opposition. He declared that all the governors in the party are supporting Tinubu.
“The claims by some people that some APC governors are negotiating with the opposition are false. All our governors are in support of Tinubu’s candidacy” he stated.
Part of the moments of the event was the presentation of the APC flag by the National Chairman of the party Abdullahi Adamu to the Kano gubernatorial candidate Nasiru Gawuna.
Other dignitaries present at the event, among others, include the Senate President Ahmad Lawan, the Director General of the Presidential campaign Simon Lalong, serving and former governors, as well as the legislators from the North.
