Bola Tinubu
Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, on Saturday, visited the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Bamalli, after attending the seventh version of the Kaduna Funding Discussion board.
Mr Tinubu, accompanied by his host, Governor Nasir el-Rufai, and APC stalwarts, had been within the palace to hunt royal blessing and pay homage to the emir.
He arrived on the palace just a few hours after the departure of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to Kaduna for his marketing campaign and engagement with Arewa Joint Committee.
Whereas apologising for his lack of ability to attend Mr Bamalli’s coronation, Mr Tinubu mentioned he would make the palace his second house, particularly when he turns into the nation’s subsequent president.
Earlier, Mr El-Rufai mentioned despite the fact that it was the primary time the APC presidential flagbearer visited the first-class conventional ruler, it might be the start of many future visits to the palace.
He described Mr Tinubu as an individual with an extended pedigree and respect for the normal establishment.
He added that a part of the respect for conventional establishments made him go to the emir just a few hours after his arrival for the seventh version of Kaduna Funding Discussion board, insisting on visiting the palace to pay homage to the royal father.
“This isn’t a go to to begin a marketing campaign, it’s a go to to seek the advice of you and faucet out of your knowledge, and we’ll come again for a marketing campaign go to; that is only a courtesy name.
“Having visited Kaduna, Asiwaju felt his go to was incomplete with out paying homage to you,” Mr El-Rufai mentioned.
Responding, Mr Bamalli appealed to politicians to work in direction of strengthening nationwide unity all through their electioneering for the overall elections in 2023.
“What we’d like at this level is the safety of our nation, improved financial system and peaceable co-existence; the problem of division of Nigeria ought to be put apart,” the emir counselled.
