Muhammad Garba, the Kano State Commissioner for Information, said the Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, will defeat the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, in the forthcoming 2023 elections.
The commissioner added that just like the late Moshood Abiola defeated late Bashir Tofa during the 1993 presidential election in Kano State.
Speaking at a function organised by Kaduna Leagues of veteran journalists, “Let’s Talk Nigeria,” which was held in Kaduna in partnership with Arewa House and Hamdala Hotel, Garba, a former National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), said politics is not cast on stone adding that anything can happen.
He said, “I know the former governor of the state is also going to be on the ballot but history can repeat itself again in Kano because late Moshood Abiola of the defunct SDP defeated Kano born late Bashir Tofa of the defunct NRC during the 1993 presidential election.
“I am confident that Kano State will produce lots of votes come 2023. The votes from Nasarawa Local Government of the state alone is more than the entire votes of the South-Eastern states combined. I am confident we will deliver Kano State to APC.
“The state government will provide an enabling environment for all the candidates and anything can happen and all candidates will certainly get their share of votes depending on how the electorates perceived them.”
“On security, the commissioner said the state governor had provided an enabling environment for all regardless of tribe, ethnicity and religion, declaring that “Kano State with the highest population in northern Nigeria is the most peaceful state.
“His Excellency wants to leave a legacy in Kano as the most peaceful state in the country,” he added.
