The Council of Ullammas and some Jumma’at Mosque Immams in Kano have endorsed the candidature of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for the 2023 presidential election.
PlatinumPost gathered that the Immams and the Ullammas believe that it is time for payback for what the Jagaban did to one of their own, President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, whom they alluded, “had tried severally to clinch the Presidency but failed not until Tinubu joined forces with him in 2015.”
The visit of the former governor of Lagos State, who was in Kano to attend a wedding Fatiha, Friday, however, turned into something like seeking support for his much speculated ambition for the Presidency in 2023.
Immediately after the ceremony, which held at Minna Events Centre in the ancient city, Tinubu proceeded to Alfurqan Jumma’at Mosque where he was said to have met with the Chief Immam, Dr Bashir Omar as well as Dr Ahmad Datti whom he described as an old friend.
