Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated that he would not
be getting involved in the Kano State elections.
Tinubu made this known in
reaction to some quarters saying he will be involved and is currently in the
State.
According to a statement he
released, such are lies spread by desperate politicians to get support.
“These desperate
politicians stir resentment of others as a way to get the support of the
people. They use lies and deception as their crutch, casting me as some type of
one-man political invasion intending to unduly influence the governorship
election.
“For the record, I’m not in
Kano and has not been in Kano at any point during the conduct of these
elections. The picture that these liars are circulating is one that was taken
last year when the governor visited Lagos.
“Regarding the people of
Kano, Asiwaju has nothing but the utmost respect and admiration. Kano has
historically stood as a bastion of progressive politics. Its brand of politics
helped inspire the establishment of the APC. Kano has an enlightened electorate
that will vote as they believe. Asiwaju hopes that they will disregard the lies
and rumours about him and remain faithful to their progressive tradition.’
