PDP’s Atiku Pulls ‘Unbelievable Crowd’ In Kano (Video/Photos)
The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party, Atiku Abubakar, has pulled what many Nigerians have tagged as “unbelievable” crowd at his Presidential campaign in Kano, northern Nigeria.
Naija News reports that Abubakar, a former Vice President of Nigeria is currently in Kano for the PDP Presidential campaign which is currently taking place at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano state.
The PDP Kano rally, this online news platform understands has been the most anticipated campaign for the opposition party, with Nigerians on the micro-blogging site, Twitter describing it as “the mother of all rallies”.
Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is believed to be the PDP’s major asset in Kano due to his Kwankwasiya movement, which is touted in some quarters as the strongest political movement in the northern part of the country.
Check out photos and video from the campaign below…
