The All Progressives Congress (APC) was ridiculed at a campaign rally in Katsina, home State of President Muhammadu Buhari, after the crowd at the rally kept shouting ‘Atiku’ when the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu chanted ‘APC’ and ‘Nigeria’ during the event.
President Buhari, Tinubu; his running mate Kashim Shettima; the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu; the state Governor, Aminu Masari; and other notable party leaders were at the rally.
Speaking at the rally, Tinubu gave Kastina residents reasons why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must not return to power. He also promised to find a solution to insecurity in the country.
He pointed out that the president means well for the country, adding that “16 years of the PDP was a waste”. Tinubu promised the people that if he is elected president, he will ensure that no one is left behind.
However, whenever the APC candidate shouted ‘APC’ and ‘Nigeria’, the people at the campaign ground responded by shouting the name of the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar.
A similar incident was reported some weeks ago when the APC staged its presidential campaign rally in Adamawa, the home State of the PDP candidate.
Katsina is being governed by an APC governor, Aminu Masari, who is a former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
