The Punch also reports that Tinubu argued that if Nigeria breaks into smaller countries, he would not have been able to visit Kano without a visa.
He said:
“Why are we in Kano? It is to demonstrate to Nigerians at this critical time. It is because there is a Fulani man, a herder man who gave his daughter to a farmer, Yoruba man. And that Fulani, that Yoruba, and some people are agitating wrongly."
Tinubu said everyone should thank Ganduje for what he and the governor had been able to show Nigerians together.
