Everybody come and see! An APC stakeholder cautioning party members against mentioning Tinubu's name while mobilising supporters for the campaign. "If you mention Tinubu's name and they beat you, don't blame me, I warned you...” 😭😂
His Excellency Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s stopover in Bichi drew a more energetic, organic, and massive crowd than the entire APC opening campaign in Kaduna today.
The people showed up for Kwankwaso. The APC had to mobilise for theirs.
“TINUBU GOVT ONLY ABOUT HIMSELF, HIS WIFE, SON AND BANK ACCOUNT”
— EMIR OF KATSINA
The Emir of Katsina has reportedly criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing its “Renewed Hope” agenda as “Renewed Hunger.”
“The Propaganda Of Ebola In Abuja Is To Stop NDC From Their Mega Rally On The 24th Of Oct.
The Fear Of Obi/Kwankwaso Is The Beginning Of Wisdom For APC….”

The Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Dr. Abdulmumini Kabir Usman, strongly criticized leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during a high-profile visit to his palace. [1, 2]
The monarch spoke during a visit by Senator Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari, the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid. The delegation also included Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda and former Governor Aminu Bello Masari. [1, 2]
In a widely circulated video from the meeting, the Emir delivered a blunt assessment, warning the APC politicians to "stop deceiving Nigerians" about the true condition of the country. [1, 2]
The Emir's main rebukes focused on the following issues:
•Prioritizing Campaigns over Security: The Emir expressed deep anger that politicians are already jostling for 2027 campaign tickets while everyday citizens are being killed by bandits. He noted that 52 schools are closed within his emirate and farmers cannot access farmlands across 12 Local Government Areas due to severe insecurity. He questioned why they were building a campaign structure instead of a security task force to capture bandit leaders like Bello Turji. [1, 2, 3]
•Selfishness vs. Public Service: He accused political leaders of forgetting the common people once elections are over. He remarked that politicians treat the palace like a "voting center or toilet" that they only visit when they need something, only to disappear to Abuja and Lagos until the next election cycle.[1]
•Internal Party Infighting: He openly called out internal rivalries within the state APC, pointing to the friction between the camps of current Governor Radda, former Governor Masari, and Abuja-based politicians. He noted that while they fight for political dominance, ordinary masses face severe hunger. [1]
•A Warning on the 2027 Elections: He warned that voters have learned from the politicians' selfishness. He cautioned that in 2027, if the APC brings bags of rice and money to buy votes, the people will collect the items but still vote against the party. [1]
The Emir concluded by challenging Senator Yari to stand for the truth, use dialogue and persuasion rather than political backbiting, and properly convey the suffering and economic hardships of ordinary Nigerians back to the presidency. [1]
When A Revered Emir Spoke Raw Truth To Power & Its Lieutenants
"You are the ones in power, but you have forgotten the common people. Politics has become selfishness, not service."
"Every 4 years you come to my palace with cap in hand, asking for prayers, asking for support. After election, you disappear to Abuja, to Lagos. You don't come back until next election. Is palace voting center or toilet that you visit only when pressed?"
"In my days, politics was about community. Now politics is about one man, his son, his wife, his bank account. You call it Renewed Hope, but people in Katsina are in renewed hunger."
"You are fighting each other in APC - Governor Dikko Radda vs former Governor Masari vs former Governor Aminu Bello Masari supporters vs Abuja boys. All fighting for 2027 ticket while bandits are in Batsari, in Jibia, in Safana killing people. Is that not selfishness? Your people are dying, you are fighting for ticket."
"In my Emirate, 52 schools closed because of bandits - same number Doka mentioned in his article. Farmers cannot go to farm in 12 LGAs. People pay N10m, N20m ransom to Turji and his boys. And you come to me talking about DG campaign for Tinubu 2027? Should you not be talking about DG security for Katsina 2026?"
"Where is Bello Turji? You promised to handle security. Turji is in forest 100km from here. Go and bring him, then come and campaign."
"If You Are Selfish, People Will Be Selfish With Their Votes".
"If you do politics of selfishness - only for your family, your cronies, your contacts - then people will also do politics of selfishness. They will collect your rice and vote against you. They will collect your N5,000 and still vote for who they want. Because you taught them selfishness."
"In 2023, you brought rice, you brought money, but Katsina people still split votes. In 2027, if you bring same selfish politics, they will collect but not vote you."
~ Emir of Katsina - HRH Alhaji Dr. Abdulmumini Kabir Usman CFR
To APC, Tinubu & The DG APC/Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council & His Co-emissaries.

Tinubu campaign team was lambasted by Emir of Katsina!
He frankly told them his palace is not a polling centre,they visit every 4 yrs.
Hunger everywhere
The in fighting within the northern governors both old & current.
Tinubu should prepare to go back to Iragbiji
People are revolting against Tinubu and tearing down his campaign posters. This is evidence of bad governance. The same man wants to impose himself on Nigerians again in 2027! January will be brutal. #TinubuMUSTGo2027
