Deputy spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Hannatu Musawa, talks to ADEBAYO FOLORUNSHO-FRANCIS on life as a female politician and preparedness of the party for the general election
I am the secretary-general of the campaign council there, and our target is to even get Asiwaju more votes than Buhari got. It is like a challenge for us, especially now that we have northern candidates, who are trying to appeal to those northerners. But there are those of us who are on the ground and are willing to do everything within the legal purview to sell this man . Secondly, when we talk about Buhari’s 12 million votes, they are vested in one person.
At least for me in Katsina, I can guarantee you that I have a lot of youths in Kano. We are going to do all we can to give him those votes, because they know him, they know what he has done. But beyond that, Tinubu, more than any other politician in this generation, has built human capacity. Human capacity has not only been in Lagos, it is everywhere. For almost 10, 20 to 30 years where there were reported deaths and disasters, Asiwaju would go there.
The Tinubu campaign is invariably linked to the campaign of many politicians on the ground. For example, I always use Katsina State because I am part of that particular campaign. Tinubu does not have to give us money for us to campaign for our governorship candidate. He doesn’t have to give us money to campaign for the members of the House of Representatives and senators. This is where we talked about the structures that may be non-existent in some other parties.
Tinubu is a democrat, Shettima is also one. In no way do we have the urge to keep anyone within a conclave. If they are not happy, let them move and those from that party can move. But if we are talking about the movement here to there, I think the one that has been affected the most is the PDP, which invariably lost five shining governors on the eve of an election. The APC has not had anything of that magnitude. I think with less than 40 days to the election, we are in good stead.
