Ex-presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, describes strength, weakness of Atiku, Obi, Tinubu
One time presidential aspirant and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has knocked the chances of the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his counterparts in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), saying they are playing ethnic cards to sway voters in the February 25 presidential election.
Atiku is playing the Northern card.
Kwankwaso is playing the North West card
Peter Obi is playing the IPOB agenda card
But Tinubu is playing the national card. Tinubu is the only Presidential candidate with a national spread. You only win Nigerian Presidency with a national card.— Adamu Garba II (@adamugarba) February 12, 2023
In a series of tweets on Sunday, Garba claimed Atiku and Kwankwaso are playing Northern cards while Obi is busy pushing an agenda of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), while only the presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only candidate with a nationalistic view.
If regional hegemony can win the Presidential election, Buhari would have been the President since 2003. God bless our forefathers for a nationalist constitution that encourages spread.
It is therefore, very clear, that Bola Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria. Vote for APC.

In another tweet, he posted:
