All Progressives Congress stalwart, Bola Tinubu, says he
chose Kano State as the venue for his 12th colloquium and 69th birthday to
prove to Nigerians that the Yoruba and Fulani people are united.
Tinubu, who is rumoured to be nursing a Presidential
ambition, also made a veiled reference to the marriage of the daughter of Kano
State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje; to the son of the late ex-Oyo State
Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, which took place in Kano in 2018.
He said this showed the unity between people of different
ethnic groups.
Tinubu, therefore, faulted secessionists groups’ agitations.
The APC leader said, “Why are we in Kano? It is to demonstrate to Nigerians at this critical time. It is because there is a Fulani man, a herder man who gave his daughter to a farmer, Yoruba man. And that Fulani, that Yoruba (sic), and some people are agitating wrongly.
“If we can encourage support to go and spend a couple of
days with my brother an in-law in Kano and demonstrate that he has not
quarreled with me, he has not seceded from Nigeria, I didn’t need a passport or
visa to get to Kano, maybe others will have peace of conscience, live in peace
and harmony and be loving to one another. That is what Ganduje and I are
showing to Nigerians and that is the purpose of this colloquium end of story.”
The former governor further said, “All of you here should
thank Ganduje for what we have been able to show Nigerians together. That a
Fulani man and a Yoruba man can show the entire nation that in harmony, we can
show Nigerians that perseverance creates understanding. It is a common blood
that flows through our veins.”
