Kwankwaso: North ‘ll reply hate campaign on March 28


Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso yesterday said the North
will reply the hate campaign against All Progressives Congress (APC)
candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on March 28 with their massive
votes.

Kwankwaso spoke at the Lagos residence of APC National Leader
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu during a meeting with the Lagos Arewa
community.

The governor reviewed the hate campaign by the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), especially by Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose and the
dollar sharing in the Southwest by President Goodluck Jonathan to
woo voters.

Tinubu urged the Hausa community not to be deterred saying “the
Arewa community is part of the government in Lagos.

“The Arewa community has come to the reality that we must work for
the peace of this country. We are one. We must work together. No
Dollar can break us, no Euro can divide us. We had enough of 16 years
of lies. They packed our children inside the stadium without food.

They made them buy the uniform extorting from them, taking from the poor, we cannot continue that way.

“We are ready, at this time, we need change in leadership; we need
change in vision. There is no permanent tenant in Aso rock. A villa is a
house and any president is a tenant. God has blessed and granted
him six years. We have bought him plenty shoes, many jackets. So we
cannot give him our vote.”

On his part, the APC National Leader, Tinubu charged them to keep
their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to vote the APC and benefit more
from government.

Kwankwaso said Governor Fayose had become a national
embarrassment.

The governor who lamented the insults to Gen. Buhari’s person
wondered what is left of values in the country. He added: “the North
will reply them on March 28 in the presidential polls.”

Recalling his youth service years in Ogun State in the southwest,
Kwankwaso said he had always believed that Yoruba land paraded an
array of well-cultured, respectful people like Chief Obafemi Awolowo,
Chief Ernest Shonekan, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Bashorun MKO
Abiola Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, among others, “but anytime I listen to this
young man, the governor of Ekiti State, I feel terribly embarrassed as a
governor and I feel bad for Yoruba people . This young man, I don’t
know what went wrong, I used to know him even though I was not very
close to him, of course, when I was first governor, he was not
governor .

“He became governor after I left the Goverment House in 2003, but
these days, when I look at him, I think many things are wrong with his
words and even his mouth.

“When you see Fayose, tell him he should learn how to respect elders.
Even those of us who are governors at this time are his seniors. In
this business of politics and in any other business, I think seniority
should be respected.

“He has been talking about the age of Buhari, I am not a medical
doctor but I observed Buhari before the primaries. He went round all
the states of the federation and after the primary elections he went to
35 out of 36 states and Kano four times and I am sure he came to
Lagos more than once within this short period of time, what I believe is
that Buhari is healthier than Jonathan.”

Tinubu said he was surprised that the ruling party is afraid of
elections.

Tinubu who said Kwankwaso is a trusted man added that the Arewa
people are part of the Lagos government.

He said: “Jonathan is afraid of conducting elections
