Second Republic politician, Tanko Yakasai has criticised the Emir of Daura, Faruk Umar Daruk for encouraging Northerners to vote for their own in the 2023 presidential elections.

Tanko. in a chat with some journalists in Kano ,Thursday, lamented that a similar statement was made by a former Minister of Agriculture,and Rursl Development, Sani Zango Daura, a few days ago.

Tanko condemned both statements , saying they were retrogressive, unpopular and capable of undermining the advancements so far recorded in the political space.

He insisted that Nigeria has exited from the politics of tribalism and ethnicity of the recent past and is walking on a path of nationalism, saying the tribe and region of a candidate should no longer affect his chances before the electorate.

He appealed to all Nigerians to join him in condemning this negative and dangerous attempt to turn back the history of the country

He also decried attempts by politicians to recruit some traditional rulers to further their ambitions while appealing to traditional rulers to jealously guard their neutrality.

He charged politicians to ensure that their campaigns are issued based and targeted at bringing about the best candidate for Nigerians even as he confessed that so far campaigns have been peaceful and hope- raising to patriotic and peace loving Nigerians.

Emir or Daura - Vote your own
Arthur Eze - I advised Obi to step down

Igbos: They are oppressing us

Rich4god:
The south don't know anything yet.... The north will always vote their own, not matter what.

What until Bello Turji or Abubakar Shekau is contesting against a southerner, then you will understand the true colour of the north...

mrvitalis:
If Tinubu gets less than 45% of northern votes then Atiku would know the power of Yoruba media propaganda

Mind you there would be no Igbos to defend or counter Yorubas ...Infact igbos would add fire

Atiku would be so unpopular that IBB would be a Saint compared to him

I dare north not to give Tinubu 45% votes I dare them

Fortruth:


Igbo people politically act confused…and sometimes act like that socially too.

They get what they deserve

I've never seen a more self defeating race than the Igbos. We have all tried to support them in this election but it seems they are simply not capable of being united, even when they have such a good chance. Not a single prominant Igbo person has come out publically to suport PO. Soludo, Eze, Kalu, Nanamani, all of not endorsed him. Big Shame!!

You neva begin cry. Save your tears for Feb 25. That's when you'll need them.

Wait please let's be clear of one thing..
The Tinubu we are talking about is the same old swine who called his party PDAPc...

Who called Omo Agege the Governor of Niger Delta State..

The man who talks incoherently .. bulaba balabu...

The Man who who wants to employ 50million youths and feed them with Agbado..

Someone who can't work a 20m distance..

Tinubu and his supporters are mad

Humble25:
We the south are divided while the north are united, we the south claim that we are smart, wise and the north are illiterate, But in reality they are wiser and smarter than us.
