Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba has accused some presidential candidates of playing regional cards ahead of the forthcoming general elections.<\/p>\n

Garba accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar of playing the Northern card, while his counterpart from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso is playing the Northwest card.<\/p>\n

He also accused the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi of playing the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, agenda.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, Adamu, however, said the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu was playing the national card.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cAtiku is playing the Northern card, Kwankwaso is playing the North West card, Peter Obi is playing the IPOB agenda card.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Tinubu is playing the national card. Tinubu is the only Presidential candidate with a national spread. You only win the Nigerian Presidency with a national card.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is, therefore, very clear, that Bola Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria. Vote for APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a nationalist, I\u2019ll only go with a nationalist candidate of a national party, the APC. I\u2019ll definitely Vote for APC.\u201d<\/p>\n
