Tinubu 's earlier visit

During Bola Ahmed Tinubu's visit to Kaduna to condole with the people and government of the state over the tragic train incident, he also paid homage to Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, a powerful and aged Islamic cleric.

In a photo shared by Joe Igbokwe via Facebook on Tuesday, April 5, the former Lagos governor was seen going down on his knees while the Sheikh laid hands on his head in prayer.

For some, this is a much-needed endorsement from the influential religious leader as Tinubu advances his presidential ambition, especially in the northern region of Nigeria.
