The Speaker of Kano House of Assembly, Hamisu Chidari, has stated that members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state will back the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in his presidential bid in 2023.

He further stated that he has guaranteed Tinubu that all delegates from the Northwest states will vote for him in the upcoming primaries.

While speaking at the launch of the Tinubu Support Group in Abuja on Saturday, October 23, 2021, the speaker promised to kick-start the road that would lead to Tinubu’s presidency.

He said, “My purpose is to kick-start the journey that will take us to the Villa by God’s grace with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the number one citizen of Nigeria.

“In Kano, being the state with the highest number of delegates, we have already decided and already concluded; we are set to give him at least 98 per cent of delegates in the primaries. Not only that, we are set as usual to give him the highest number of votes so that come May 29, 2023, we will be at the Eagle Square to swear him in as the President.

“All of us in the North-West are aware of the role he played in taking our son, President Muhammadu Buhari, to the Villa. So, we are going to reward him; we are going to pay him back. So, I have assured him of victory. Almost all the delegates from the North-West states are going to vote for him in the next primary elections.”

Although Tinubu has not proclaimed his desire to run for president in 2023, there are hints that the former governor of Lagos state has his sights set on the country’s top political office.
