The former speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Abdullahi Bello, has revealed why Muslims in the North are determined to support the presidential ambitions of Asiwaju Bola TInubu.
In a recent interview on TVC News, Bello spoke about being grateful to Tinubu for the good he has done for the north.
Addressing the topic, Bello said, “I do not believe that imposing any presidential candidate on the party will work out, as such an individual needs to have worked for himself around the country. Such a person has to be marketable, acceptable, and have modern knowledge of the economy
“Bola Tinubu is the symbol of a leader who can unite the country and ensure the prosperity of the country. We who are Muslims from the Northern part of Nigeria believe that this man has given many of us the opportunity to fulfil our political aspirations on multiple occasions
“Bola Tinubu gave his platform for Atiku to run for president, and he did the same for Nuhu Ribadu. Even when the current president came with a “weak party” that had just a governor, and Bola Tinubu’s party had many governors, Bola Tinubu conceded and gave him the platform to run.
“It is our turn to thank him for all the good he has done for the people in the north. You can see great men from the north supporting him today. Those who believe that Muslims should not be ungrateful to those who have been good to us have resolved to give Bola Tinubu the needed support. We see the next presidential election as an opportunity to thank Bola Tinubu.
