“Asiwaju’s trajectory from 2007,2011,2015 and 2019 when he gave his all to ensure President Mohammadu Buhari’s victory shows he has been a detribalized Nigerian ever since. We must do all we can to ensure his victory come February 2023″, said Shettima.

“The peace enjoyed in Lagos today with diverse cultures cohabiting without friction is part of his legacy. Tinubu has quality more than Atiku. Forcing yourself to do something is better than you been forced to do something”, said Ganduje.


In his remarks, Engineer Saadu charged all members of Arewa community to get their PVCS ready in order to vote APC candidates across board.
