In response, Bafarawa stated that El-Rufai cannot presume that Nigerians will vote for Tinubu.
Bafarawa told the BBC Hausa Service that El-remark Rufai’s was demeaning to the North and Nigerians.
“Also, he came out and was proudly saying that Tinubu will win the election whether people like it or not. Who told him that the whole of the north are supporting the APC?
“It’s just his opinion. Therefore, he has no right to boast with the north because everyone has their own candidates.
“We will surprise them; we will show them that this country belongs to nobody, likewise the north,” he said.
