A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State, Dr. Ilyasu Musa Kwankwaso, on Monday, urged northerners to support President Bola Tinubu in his efforts to move the nation forward in terms of development.
Kwankwaso, a three-time Commissioner for Rural and Community Development in Kano State, noted that supporting the President became imperative in view of his support for former President Muhammad Buhari during his eight-year tenure.
He also condemned the recent protest against the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, describing it as negative antics targeted at Tinubu, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and other leading politicians of the ruling party.
Kwankwaso, who stated this while speaking to newsmen in Kaduna on Monday, also cautioned those using social media to rain insults on the Presidents and other leading officials of the party, to desist forthwith.
