Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commenced the distribution of branded bags of rice and other food items to Kano residents.
In several photos and videos making the rounds, Kano residents are seen brandishing bags of rice with the inscription ‘JAGABA – Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’.
This move could be indicative of the ex-governor’s intention to run for presidency come 2023, an ambition he has not publicly confirmed.
It has also been speculated that the Jagaban may be kicking off his campaign under the radar, seeking to get the support of the North.
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had last month celebrated his 69th birthday in Kano State.
Tinubu had also been seen in events held in Kaduna and Katsina states, which are coincidentally the states with the largest voting populations in the country.
He had also recently donated N50 million to victims of a recent fire outbreak at Katsina Central Market in Katsina State and paid sympathy visits to traders and other victims of the recent fire outbreak that occurred in the state.
