The speaker of the Kano house of assembly, Hamisu Chidari, has stated that his state will back Bola Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos, for president in 2023.
Chidari said Kano will vote for Tinubu in the All Progressives Congress presidential primary poll on Saturday, speaking at the inauguration of the Tinubu Support Organisation (TSG) and the state steering committees of the group in Abuja (APC).
The north-west, according to the speaker, is cognizant of the role played by the former Lagos governor in guaranteeing President Muhammadu Buhari’s election in 2015.
“In Kano, being the state with the highest number of delegates, we have already decided and already concluded; we are set to give him at least 98 per cent of delegates in the primaries.”
“Not only that, we are set as usual to give him the highest number of votes so that come May 29, 2023, we will be at the Eagle Square to swear him in as the President.”
“All of us in the north-west are aware of the role he played in taking our son, President Muhammadu Buhari, to the Villa. So, we are going to reward him; we are going to pay him back.”
“So, I have assured him of victory. Almost all the delegates from the north-west states are going to vote for him in the next primary elections.”
Tinubu has not stated whether he plans to run for president in 2023.
