Niger Governors Arrive Nigeria to Campaign
Issa Moussa of Zinder Region and Zakiri Umar of Maradi Region of Niger Republic are in Nigeria to campaign for our politicians. There is nothing you will not see in Nigeria! We really like foreign things – technology, fashion, food, and now campaign mercenaries. A nation in motion.
Two governors from neighbouring Niger Republic have arrived Kano to campaign for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari.
Issa Moussa of Zinder Region and Zakiri Umar of Maradi arrived Kano to campaign for Mr Buhari’s reelection. They dressed in ‘babanriga,’ a traditional attire, designed with APC campaign ornaments.
Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, a spokesperson for Governor Umar Ganduje of Kano, shared pictures his principal took with the two foreign governors as they prepared to receive Mr Buhari in Kano earlier on Thursday.
Mr Buhari had since arrived Kano to campaign for himself and other APC candidates in the general elections next month.
No sooner had Mr Tanko-Yakasai shared the pictures on Twitter than a flurry of critical comments began to trickle in, with many reactions pointing to peoples befuddlement.
