Kaduna rally as the north’s referendum on Tinubu
Through Kaduna, its old political capital, the North spoke yesterday. And the echo will haunt those who have spent months marketing the lie that the North has abandoned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Yesterday, the North expressed its unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at a massive rally held in Kaduna, its former political capital. The event attracted an immense and impassioned crowd, who filled the Kaduna Township Stadium beyond capacity, spilling into the streets. The atmosphere was a vibrant display of colors, with red caps, white babban riga, green wrappers, and placards bearing the slogan "Sai Asiwaju" (Hail the Leader).
Attendees spoke a multitude of languages, including Hausa, Fulfulde, Tiv, Idoma, Gbagyi, Yoruba, Nupe, Kanuri, and English, demonstrating the unity of the North behind Tinubu. The gathering was far from a mere rally; it was a genuine expression of Arewa's (the North's) commitment to their friend. This sentiment was not new; Tinubu's political journey began with the North when he chose to join the Peoples Front in 1991, long before his presidency.
The rally's impact was evident in the numerous photos taken, capturing the joy and excitement of the crowd, as well as the presence of various political figures, including former governors, legislators, religious leaders, and artisans. The purpose of the Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) political movement, which organized the event, is to counter falsehoods spread by opposition parties and provide evidence-based campaigning for Tinubu's re-election in 2027.
