reports that confusion almost marred the presidential train of the All Progressives Congress which birthed in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital recently to canvass for votes for its standard flag bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The much publicised press statement was based on the cancellation of the coming of the National Leader of the party and President Muhammadu Buhari to attend the rally following his travelling to Mauritania for important international recognition by the government of the Islamic nation. But, the ruling APC Campaign Council in its reaction said “President Buhari is coming on Tuesday to just flag off the presidential campaign in Kwara State, while a different date will be announced for grand inauguration of different impactful projects such as the largest Intensive Care Unit facility in North Central which is the first functional ICU facility in the state”.
The Secretary of the committee, Alhaji Saadu Salaudeen, said there was no cause for alarm on the holding of the rally. The party supporters who were dressed in different attires sang campaign slogans of the presidential candidate, the state govenror, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq who is also seeking re-election, senatorial and House of Representatives candidates, among others.
Addressing the party stalwarts at Metropolitan Square, Ilorin, the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Tinubu asked the people of Kwara state to demonstrate their continued commitment to freedom achieved during the 2019 general elections by using their permanent voters cards to vote him as next president and all other candidates of the party in the elections.
“Let’s make it a broom revolution. Broom!!! You have no other symbol than the symbol of freedom, cleaninless, sweeping fraud, money laundering, corruption, away, sweeping insecurity away”. Also speaking at the rally, Director General of APC presidential campaign council, Simon Lalong justified the claim that it is turn of Bola Tinubu to be the next president of the country.
He stated: ‘If you do me good, I will do you good and If you do good on the other side, we will do good on this side. Asiwaju has done good. It is his turn; it is our turn.” Also speaking at the rally, Governor AbdulRazaq commended the people of the state for coming out in droves to welcome Tinubu and his entourage.
AbdulRazaq added, “You need to continue to support this party at all levels. President Muhammadu Buhari has done well. We need to build on his success. The campaign train later paid a special homage to the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, who prayed for the success of the candidate in the coming poll.
