Tinubu Bags Dakari Title In Birnin Gwari

Last night in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, became the first presidential candidate to visit the ancient town.

His Roya Highness (HRH) Zubair Jibril Megwari II, the town’s elated traditional ruler, bestowed upon him the traditional title of Dakari Birnin Gwari.

The title Dakari means “Fearless Warrior.”

Nasir el- Rufai, governor of Kaduna State, who led the APC candidate to the bandit-infested town, was also given the traditional title of Sadoki Birnin-Gwari.

Aswáj Tinubu was accompanied to the town by Senator Kashim Shettima, his running mate, Governors Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Abdullahi Banduje (Kano), Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), and Simon Bako Lalong (Plateau), as well as the APC governorship candidate in the state, Senator Uba Sani, and many federal lawmakers.

“I never thought I would see the APC candidate and all of you here because of bandits and the bad road. We are so happy to see you. Whoever comes here cares for us and loves us. We appreciate you,” the monarch said.

The Emir described Tinubu as the Jagaba of Nigeria, his chieftaincy title from the Borgu Kingdom, and noted that Tinubu had done a lot for Nigeria.

He prayed to God to grant him the opportunity to become Nigeria’s next president.

Tinubu expressed his delight at being in Birnin Gwari, describing the town as endowed with arable land and other potential that can benefit the city, Kaduna, and Nigeria.

He described Emir Jibril as a forthright leader who cares deeply about his country.

He expressed sympathy with the Emir and his people over the bandits’ attacks in the area and stated that if elected, he would confront all forms of criminality in the country.

He also stated that President Buhari will not give up his efforts to restore peace to the country.

“We promise you we will work relentlessly to change Nigeria,” he said.

El-Rufai stated that the APC candidate decided to visit Birnin Gwari after hearing about the area’s insecurity.

The governor said: “Asíwájú is the only presidential candidate to visit Birnin Gwari. President and Vice President don’t normally travel together.

“Even the presidential candidate and his vice presidential candidate don’t also travel together. But Asíwájú and Senator Shettima felt so concerned they resolved to travel here together to see our people.

“We have a team that cares and shares in your pain.” he said.
