OPINION BY ADERONKE OGUNLEYE-BELLO: X-raying Tinubu's rally in Kano | TheCable
the crucial February 25, 2023, presidential election has placed him and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, way ahead of any of their rivals.
On the contrary, not only did they impress to the fullest, they ended up making the Kano rally a most intimidating testament to overwhelming northern support for Tinubu.Despite the cold harmattan weather on January 4, 2023, an endless stream of the most enthused throngs of patriotic citizens from the north-west geopolitical zone of our country, kept trooping out in the most intimidating numbers to register their adoption of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.
Not only did the rally solidly establish the fact that Tinubu is both truly and widely accepted in the core north, but it also served to correct the utterly baseless notion that President Muhammadu Buhari is not fully supporting the Tinubu/Shettima ticket of his own party! That Kano rally must have understandably really discomfited him, perhaps explaining his puzzling reluctance to reemerge from the hideout of his Dubai country home and return to what a senior colleague of mine has described as “Atiku’s campaign to absolutely nowhere”!
