Sen. Abu Ibrahim, a pillar of the All Progressives Congress (APC), believes that 2023 is the year for the geopolitical north to support Sen. Bola Tinubu, the party's presidential candidate.
On Thursday in Katsina, during a visit to the campaign office of Katsina State APC gubernatorial candidate Dr. Dikko Radda, Ibrahim, a resident of Katsina State, made this statement.
He claims that the call is intended to supplement the assistance Tinubu has been providing to northern contenders.
He recounted how Tinubu had backed Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP's presidential candidate, when he ran on the banner of the now-defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
The senator also remembered that in 2015 and 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari received assistance from the APC presidential candidate in order to carry out the party's agenda and win elections.
Ibrahim said that Tinubu was a lover of the north, adding that “when elected, Tinubu will surely promote the interest of the north”.
He assured Nigerians that if Tinubu became the president, he would replicate the wonderful work he did in Lagos, to cover the whole of Nigeria.
Ibrahim also urged the people of Katsina State to vote for Radda.
He said: “Radda is an intelligent young man that would move the state forward when elected as governor“.
He added that for now he had relocated to Katsina to spearhead reconciliation of party members and promote the candidature of Tinubu and Radda.
According to him, he is currently going round the state to make sure Tinubu and Radda won handsomely during the forthcoming elections.
In his remarks, Radda thanked the senator for his fatherly guidance and assured him that he would not be disappointed in the state during the elections.
Also speaking, the state APC Deputy Chairman, Alhaji Bala Abu-Musawa, disclosed that with the relocation of Sen. Ibrahim to Katsina, Tinubu and Radda victories were guaranteed.
He stressed that Katsina APC was a one big united family, adding that, “we are one, there is no division in the party”.
