According to Ayekooto Akindele, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), is subtly promoting President Bola Tinubu to Northerners.

Kwankwaso bemoaned the Tinubu administration’s disregard for the north on Thursday, claiming that the federal government exclusively allocates national resources to the development of the southern portion of the nation.

The president, however, refuted the allegation in a statement signed by Sunday Dare, Tinubu’s media adviser, by listing several important initiatives that the current administration has completed in the northern area thus far.

In response to Kwankwaso’s statement, Ayekooto asserted that the former governor of Kano State “doesn’t want to personally market Tinubu so that no one says he’s defending his friend.”

Claiming that Kwankwaso is Tinubu’s friend, the APC chieftain stated that the Kwankwasiyya Movement leader “deliberately issued a wrong statement of partial regional development against Tinubu, knowing well that the President’s team would come up with a comprehensive detail of TINUBU’s developmental strides in the North.

“Kwakwanso has succeeded in doing this because the concealed achievements initially muted by those who are supposed to echo them are now being released in droves by those officially saddled with the responsibility.

“Who would have thought that more than 52% of the on going infrastructural development under Tinubu is concentrated in the north. The majority thought that only 80% of our security budget is spent in the north alone, not knowing that even 52% of infrastructure funds are also going to this strategic part of our nation”.
