Adamu Garba accuses Atiku, Kwankwaso and Obi of playing regional card

Adamu Garba, a leading member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a swipe at the other leading presidential candidates, accusing them of playing the regional card ahead of the forthcoming general elections.

According to Garba, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar of playing the Northern card, while his counterpart from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso is playing the Northwest card.

He also accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party of pushing the agenda of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

In a series of tweets, Adamu, however, said the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu was playing the national card.

He wrote: “Atiku is playing the Northern card, Kwankwaso is playing the North West card, Peter Obi is playing the IPOB agenda card.

“But Tinubu is playing the national card. Tinubu is the only Presidential candidate with a national spread. You only win the Nigerian Presidency with a national card.

“If regional hegemony can win the Presidential election, Buhari would have been the President since 2003. God bless our forefathers for a nationalist constitution that encourages spread.

“It is, therefore, very clear, that Bola Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria. Vote for APC.

“As a nationalist, I’ll only go with a nationalist candidate of a national party, the APC. I’ll definitely Vote for APC.”
