Former governor of Kano state, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, has taken a swipe at Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential flagbearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, stating that cannot be trusted with Nigeria's mandate.
“I wonder, how a Presidential candidate, who is boasting that he knows what is happening in his country, could not simply comprehend when an election that he is participating in would hold, this is a serious backlash on him,” he said.
Shekarau said, “Tinubu while on a Campaign trail had said that the election would hold on January 25, indicating seriously that he is a Presidential Candidate living in the past, how can Nigerians trust this person with their mandates?”
Speaking during a press conference in Kano, Shekarau said that Atiku Abubakar of the PDP is highly prepared for the election.
He said his candidate, Atiku has outlined five focal points that he wants to concentrate on after winning elections.
He added that Atiku Abubakar would unify the country.
On devolution of powers, he said, “the Federal Government will be concerned with monitoring and supervision of the States, while States would be allowed to operate freely with more allocations, this way Nigeria will come out of the woods.”
