He also said the outcome of the Kaduna rally shows the decline of the ruling party and the popularity of Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

His words:

“The crowd at Peter Obi's rally in Kaduna despite Governor El-Rufai suggests the decline of the APC in that state. This is even Labour, not PDP, Obi not Atiku. The Electoral Act amendment has de-mystified governors.
“If 2015 APC victory does not humble APC, the 2023 APC defeat would humiliate them.

“Happy Independence Day. We know many families would be wondering whether there is anything to celebrate; yes there is, we are alive and together as a nation and with a choice to decide our future next year when we go to the polls.
“By God’s grace, the next Independence celebration, you would have a cause to celebrate because you would see Nigeria on a proper path to economic recovery, job creation and a united and strong people when Atiku takes the leadership of the country.”
