Talking at the 12th colloquium to celebrate his 69th birthday in Kano, the previous governor of Lagos declared that he selected Kano for the colloquium to show Nigerians at this precarious period that they must stay as one.

He said, “Why are we in Kano? It is to demonstrate to Nigerians at this critical time. It is because there is a Fulani man, a herder man who gave his daughter to a farmer, Yoruba man. And that Fulani, that Yoruba, and some people are agitating wrongly.

“If we can encourage support to go and spend a couple of days with my brother, an in-law in Kano and demonstrate that he has not quarreled with me, he has not seceded from Nigeria, I didn’t need a passport or visa to get to Kano, maybe others will have peace of conscience, live in peace and harmony and be loving to one another.

“That is what Ganduje and I are showing to Nigerians and that is the purpose of this colloquium end of story.”

Tinubu added that everybody ought to express gratitude toward Ganduje for what he and Ganduje had been able to show Nigerians together.

He said, “That a Fulani man and a Yoruba man can show the entire nation that in harmony, we can show Nigerians that perseverance creates understanding. It is a common blood that flows through our veins.”
