There is no flood in Kano – Nigerians react as Tinubu donates N100m to Kano

Nigerians have reacted to Bola Tinubu, the 2023 Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that donated N100 million to flood victims in Kano.

Newsflash Nigeria had earlier reported that the former Lagos State governor had donated N100 million to flood victims in Kano,

The APC presidential candidate announced the donation during a dinner organised in his honour by the Kano business community council on Saturday in Kano.

He said the donation was aimed at alleviating the sufferings of the victims in the affected areas and called for sustained prayers to end flood disasters in the country.

Speaking on the suitability of his candidacy for office, Mr Tinubu said that if elected, he would ensure that Nigeria’s diversity served as a source of prosperity for all.

“Unity in diversity, peace and prosperity are the fulcrum of my mission in this contest.”

The APC presidential candidate pledged to reposition existing industries across Nigeria and make them a competitive source of industrialisation and growth.

He also commended Governor Abdullahi Ganduje for his stride in Infrastructure development in the state, describing Mr Ganduje as a “friend and a reliable partner”.

Thanking them for the honour, Mr Tinubu also promised the Kano business community that he would provide an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the state.

He thanked the business community for the honour and promised to look into their blueprint if elected.

“If we win the election, we will call your representatives and see how we can move the nation forward,” he said.

But Nigerians have reacted that there is no flood in Kano, only heavy rain affecting some markets in the state and the victims of buildings collapsed at Beirut GSM market.

They attacked the APC presidential candidate for leaving the states like Kogi, Bayelsa, Abia, Delta, Benue and other states affected by flood and donated N100 million to Kano in order to get votes in the 2023 elections.

See the comments:

@Isa Garba: “Not flood victims only victims in kano state this includes victims of buildings collapsed at Beirut gsm market.

@Muhammad Usman Suleiman: “Which flood victims? He donated it to Ganduje and his campaign team dai. Hardly if a single person among the flood victims would benefit a penny from the said donation. Anyway, it is campaign time.

@Aloysius Edozie: “Flooding in Kano is not that devastating as compared to the ones in Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa. But for an opportunist like BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu), everything is politics, thinking that he can deceive all the people all the time!”

@Hardaralewa Horlarleykan Harfeez: “Hmm….. Was there any flood in North-west Nigeria??? This man thinks he’s wiser than millions of Nigerians, OG nla stylishly imbibing in vote buying…….it’s not going to be business as usual. The entire youths across the country aside from the gullible and d@ft ones are all going to vote wisely come the 2023 election”.

@Jacob Agwu:” There’s no flood in Kano. It is an election rigging money”.

@Asinaba Kessy: “Tinubu Tinubu how many times did I call u? Pls, stop these politics. Flood no dey Kano compared to other states”.

@Enimini William: “Flood Victims in Kano…I didn’t hear about the flood in Kano not until now”.

@Osita Mbazuruike: “Flood in Kano state? Another vote buying in disguise, but I trust the North, they will vote Kwankwaso and Atiku in Kano”.

@Chuks Emmanuel: “Kano is his only hope of winning in the north. You do see, Bayelsa, Rivers, Benue, Kogi, Delta, Anambra”.

@Peter Afamefuna: “Is there a flood in Kano? You only doing so because you want their votes by all means”.

@Fabulous News: “They is no flood in Kano just tell us have bought some vote”.

@Believe Gabriel Isaiah: “ Give back to the society what you have taken from them. They are fun of playing politics with everything. How many flood victims do we have in Kano compared to Kogi, Bayelsa and Anambra.” Mr strategist

@Christopher Ifejokwu: “Where did he get all the hundreds of millions from? Dividends from shares? In as much as I support giving to people in need, the source of the money must be clean. Why not Bayelsa, and Kogi, the areas worst hit by the flood? Kano? Oh! I remember, Kano has huge electoral values. These politicians are Masters of hypocrisy and deceit. If this man wins, he will recoup his investment with profit. Ponder over all these and vote wisely”.

@Iyke Okeke: “Please let the 100million go round, all states that were affected, so other states please please demand your 100million if Tinubu comes to your state.

@Pst Paul Emeka: “Tinubu didn’t work for his money. Even the Lagos state government has mapped out funds for his presidential campaign plus the ones he l00ted with a bullion van. By the way, is there any flood in Kano?Kalabar Is-Prospering. Why Kano if not purely political??. Flood has affected all South South, and middle belt states. But BAT chooses the state with the highest voting population to support. Again, calling for prayers to end flooding is crazy. Prayers wouldn’t solve the flooding problem.

@Sunday Okunola Ajegunma: “BAT, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers States, to mention a few flooded areas are waiting, Sir.
