A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kailani Muhammad, has said that it took President Bola Tinubu almost 40 years to build bridges around North before they eventually voted for him.
As leadership race of the 10th National Assembly heats up with political alignments and realignments across the country, Kailani reiterated that Senator Abdulaziz Yari secured more votes for Tinubu and should be the next Senate President.
He noted that neither Orji Uzo Kalu nor Godswill Akpabio should be Senate President because APC did not secure much votes from their respective geopolitical zones.
“That is why we have been telling our Igbo brothers and sisters to build bridges across the country as Tinubu did; after all, we are brothers and sisters.
“The great Azikiwe of Africa did this when Nigeria was about to break. He went to the North. Awolowo did the same just to ensure a peaceful and progressive Nigeria.
“The Yoruba there did not vote for him either. They went to the church and said it was going to be a religious war, which is not supposed to be.
“We should have it at the back of our mind that at the top, people only know naira and dollar. When those of us at the bottom are fighting, in the night, they are together enjoying themselves.”
