You must win presidency for us in Lagos, Ganduje tells Hausa community in Lagos

The votes that will be cast by the Hausa community in Lagos in 2023 presidential election, according to Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, should outnumber those cast for his state.

When visiting the Hausa community in Alaba Rago, Iba LCDA of Lagos, Ganduje spoke on Wednesday.

The governor was with Kashim Shettima, the APC vice presidential candidate, and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his counterpart from Lagos (APC).

The Kano State governor said as far as the North is concerned, “the issue of Tinubu is concluded”.

“Kano state wants votes from you for Tinubu. You have to promise us you will surpass Kano in your votes for Tinubu,” NAN quoted Ganduje to have said.

Shettima claimed that the 2023 election would be the North’s way of repaying Tinubu for his prior assistance to the region.

In 2015 and 2019, according to the former Borno governor, Tinubu backed President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We are people of honour. We should honour our pledge and promise. This is payback time for the north to support Tinubu,” Shettima said.

The meeting with the community was a part of the party’s political dialogues with non-indigenous groups existing in the state, according to Sanwo-Olu, who also spoke.
