An unprecedented crowd, today, ushered Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buharu into Kano, capital of Kano state, renting the air with chants: “sai Buhari, Baba Oyoyo.”
General Buhari, along with the APC national and state leaders, held the rally at Sani Abacha Stadium inside the Kano city. The rally was described by political observers as the largest crowd yet gathered in support of any candidate in this republic.
The streets of Kano were lined by the supporters who had taken positions to catch a glimpse of the Presidential hopeful, Buhari.
Present at the rally were, among others, General Buhari’s running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Director General for the campaign, Governor Rotimi Amaechi; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal.
Presenting the party’s aspirant to the enthusiastic supporters on the
ground, Tambuwal said: “I want to tell you that God is with us, for He has given us Buhari who will end corruption in Nigeria…. If you come out and vote for us, by God’s grace, we will achieve all we have set to do.”
General Buhari, overwhelmed by the mammoth gathering, snaked his way onto the podium and addressed the supporters in Hausa, reaffirming his
commitment to restoring security, power supply, education and infrastructure.
He also spoke on the vital importance of collecting permanent voter cards and ensuring they defended their votes.
He asked the voters to “ensure you stay behind and defend your votes.”
General Buhari told his exhilarating supporters to vote en-mass for all the APC candidates.
