The Vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Kashim Shettima has stayed behind in Kano to continue the campaign.
This was a day after the party’s highly successful mega rally in Kano, which was attended by the Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Many northern state governors also attended the rally.
Today, Shettima, along with the governorship candidate, Dr. Nasir Yusuf Gawuna and Deputy National Chairman of the APC (North) Senator Abubakar Kyari paid homage to Emir of Gaya, Dr. Aliyu Ibrahim Gaya.
Shettima’s visit to Gaya comes as Tinubu also mounted the podium in Benin, capital of Edo state.
Shettima also visited Rano, where he paid homage to the emir, as well.
In both palaces, the delegation was treated to another round of mass turn out as thousands of people quickly gathered to welcome the visitors.
At the Palace to receive the team in Rano, was the Emir, Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad Inuwa Autan Bawo III.
In Gaya also, the Emir, Alhaji Ibrahim Gaya was at hand to receive the delegation.
In both Palaces, Senator Kashim Shettima paid tribute to the historical antecedents and relevance of the two emirates and linked the roles they have played in the evolution of a nation anchored on justice and fairness to why they are still relied upon to impact on the journey at hand.
He told the emirs and the very large gathering of people that Nigeria has a date with not just history, but with a golden opportunity to remake and reposition itself.
