The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Saturday, attended the wedding Fatiha of Misbau Yahaya, son of the Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, and his bride, Amira Babayo.
Tinubu praised the effort of the North-East region for its overwhelming support to his political career, urging residents to redouble their support towards helping him achieve his presidential aspiration.
He said, “To the people of North-East, thank you for all you have been doing for me. I feel at home, I challenge you, though, what you have done in the past, now that your son is my running mate, you have to double your efforts and you have to do more.”
Apparently referring to the fact that INEC has not declared political campaigns open, he said “I will come back. They said campaign is not open yet, I don’t know who closed it. We are politicians and anytime no campaign is closed, politics 360 degrees makes you go round. We will continue to be with you. We promise you people of Gombe that we will always promote prosperity and joy for all of you.”
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, in his remarks welcomed the presidential candidate of the APC, stressing that aside from the South-West, the North-East remained home to Tinubu.
“Your Excellency, this is your second zone after South-West, this your own zone regardless,” Lawan said.
