Hussaini Nuhu Kankia

I actively supported and campaigned for Buhari/CPC in 2011. But I knew he was not going to win. Few weeks to election, I stopped to buy recharge card at a place in Ajah. I saw some guys - including one named Taofeek - discussing politics. I joined them. To my shock, none of them knew there was any candidate as Buhari. Few weeks to election. In Lagos. They didn't know there was a candidate called Buhari. They were of voting age. Meanwhile, Buhari was pulling crowds at campaigns in the North. And on some sections of social media (eg Nairaland). I had to pick my pen and write this article ar the time. An Adamu in Kano whose worldview is shaped by what he saw in Kano would have thought Buhari was going to win that election. But a Taofeek in Lagos didn't even know there was a Buhari contesting, not to talk of an Emeka in Ogwuashi Uku. You can't win a presidential election without national spread. If you use your own environment to judge, you are mistaking. This was also why violence erupted in some parts of the North after 2011 election result was announced when the Adamus used their environment to think that was how everywhere was for Buhari and felt Buhari was rigged out when the result was announced and he didn't win. This is also the problem I have with those that kept saying PO won the 2023 elections. There were places in Kebbi or Katsina where the mention of Peter Obi, few days to that 2023 election, they would ask you whether he was a footballer. People don't get these things. People use popularity within their immediate environment or social media to conclude presidential elections result. I am not your problem. I am only telling you how presidential election is won in Nigeria. You can keep insulting me.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah. Please accept this as a formal invitation to my wedding, if you are unable to attend, your prayers will be highly appreciated, jazakallahu khair 🙏

Even if dem dash you the ticket on a platter, we shall defeat you on the general election, in sha Allah. Ka ci taliyar karshe

I know I am inconsequential in the larger scheme of things, but I feel certain disgust every time I remember that I did not only voted for Tinubu/APC in 2023, but I actively campaigned and ensured many people around me voted for them.

One good term truly deserves another!

There’s no version of Nigeria in which we northerners would ever vote for Peter Obi as president. It’s never going to happen. Even if you pair him with the Sultan of Sokoto, not just Kwankwaso, we still won’t vote for him.

Whichever way one chooses to assess the situation in Kano, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf deserves another term in office. He is a true man of the people, delivering on his mandate and remaining focused on the progress and development of our dear state.

They are all friends, only f00lish people fight over politicians 👀🧑‍🦯

Anyone but Mustapha Inuwa in Katsina would not shake Dikko.

Oya solve this.

EID is not EID without?

Mai alfarma, his Eminence the Sultan of Sokoto. Allah ya Kara masa lafiya da Nisan kwana.
