<p>Elections are not won by emotions but by fact. Political Party Candidates campaign to people based on what they can offer, while the ones in power used the dividends of their leadership to people as their major tool to campaign by telling the world what they have done in terms of development, the opposition looked at that, criticised where they have gone wrong and what they have not provided for the people to campaign.</p><div class="ycB5P9DS" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>That’s constructive campaigning. The recent flag off of President Tinubu’s campaign in Kaduna on Saturday says a lot about the failure of the president to deliver good governance to Nigerians.</p>
<p>I expected to President to campaign on three or four areas where the north is left behind in his government, this is not to talk of the massive nepotism where his kinsmen are on top of critical government agencies; not treating Nigerians equally. I was expecting to see President Tinubu making adjustment in the kind of nepotism that took place during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, things get worse, Nigerians and the north is experiencing the worst ever nepotistic government ever since independence.</p>
<p>The President should have asked himself whether the North has recovered from the massive kidnapping which he inherited under Buhari, as people with the fertile land to farm, are we still going to our various farms to do farming? This is No, why because of the insecurity in the North.</p><div class="N08gWJVI" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>In Kaduna, a family was kidnapped and were nearly killed before they were able to be rescued. Nobody knows whether ransom was paid but the kaduna state government claimed to have rescued them. Governor Uba Sani was even seen thanking the National Security Adviser for his efforts in the rescue mission. This is the situation the North finds itself under President Tinubu.</p>

<p>The second most important thing is economic instability, you can’t tell me that there is economic improvement when people cannot be able to take a 3 square meal in a day. When people are abandoning their cars for electric bikes.</p>

<p>This is one area where Atiku has won the heart of the masses by promising to restore the fuel subsidy why because its removal has negative impact on the masses. People are living in hunger and abject poverty, one which I have witnessed as the most since the return to democracy in 1999.</p>
<p>Tinubu has no regret over the hardship but is putting the blame on the opposition. This has provoked Nigerians the most.</p>
<p>Even the governors and National Assembly candidates of the APC are doing their posters alone without attaching Tinubu. Go through the billboards in the north, attaching your poster with Tinubu will create you enmity and make you unpopular.</p>
<p>What Nigerians are after at the moment is the person that will provide them with security, remove them from abject poverty, restore fuel subsidy and provide them with a conducive environment that will provide the unemployed with the job opportunities.</p>
<p>Children can’t go to school because their parents cannot afford that, the daily income, the minimum wage issue and the meagre salary is not enough to cater for their needs.</p>
<p>As a politician, campaign for Tinubu and become unpopular. I have since realised even the politicians at the forefront campaigning for Tinubu don’t care for the North predicament. Despite all the problems and challenges, they tend to care for their pockets not that of Nigerians. This is the most unpatriotic attitude of our people.</p>
<p>It’s sad that even when Tinubu decided to pick his campaign DG, he ended up with Yari, someone with poor record of good governance. The only thing he knows is sharing money to the people. Someone whose source of wealth is associated to his record as a governor. He came into power not as a business man but ended his tenure as governor as one of the most wealthiest governors in Nigeria.</p>
<p>When Rufai Oseni asked for his track record as governor of Zamfara and the high rate of poverty when he led the state; he ended up beating around the bush.</p>
<p>Nigerians are feeling the pain deep in them and they will vote for Waziri Atiku Abubakar, they will give him a try because of the good plans he has for the country at the moment. He served this country as Vice President with diligence, he is one of the best and capacitated Vice President the country has so so far produced not the spare tyre Kashim Shettima who not only serve as Nigeria’s second citizen but as number one praise singer of his principal.</p>
<p>Atiku will win massively for the aforementioned reasons. It’s the people that vote not the elite that make noise on social media or television stations. Elections are won at the polling units not on social media.</p>
<p>They will share the money, people will collect it and vote for the right person and that person is Atiku Abubakar.</p>
<p>I refused to make mention of other presidential candidates for one reason, many of them are working for the return of the president especially the NDC, I trust Seyi Makinde of APM to be more serious as an opposition candidate than Peter Obi of the NDC and Rabiu Kwankwaso who have appeared to be more concerned and critical to Waziri Atiku than Tinubu who has inflicted hardship to Nigerians.</p>
