Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), arrived in Kano State on Sunday to chants and placards from supporters shouting, “Tinubu, you are our next President.”
After being greeted by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje at the Mallam Aminu Kano Airport, the former Lagos governor went to the late Sheik Ahmad Ibrahim Bomba’s home near the BUK old site to express his condolences to his family.
Similarly, the presidential candidate paid a visit to the late Alhaji Bashir Tofa’s home in Gandun Albasa, where he described Tofa as a gentleman politician who accepted defeats at the hands of M.K.O. Abiola.
Tofa’s acceptance of defeat, he said, is something Nigerian politicians should emulate.
“What Tofa did in 1993 was a rear gentleman understanding which clearly shows his humility, consideration and love for a peaceful Nigeria, and this should be emulated by the politicians,” he said.
Similarly, Tinubu visited the home of the late National President of Council of Sharia, Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmad, where he offered prayers for the repose of his soul.
