Youths Destroy, Burn Buhari, Tinubu, Shettima’s Campaign Banner In Kaduna

Some Northern youths have destroyed the campaign banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, showing pictures of him, his running mate, Kashim Shettima and President Muhammad Buhari.

A video trending online showed the youths throwing stones at the banner before setting it ablaze.

The incident happened in the Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

They were also heard shouting “Bamayi” which means “We don’t want you”.

Datti Baba-Ahmed, the running mate of the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi is from Zaria.

Tinubu was in June elected as the presidential candidate of the APC.

He polled 1,271 votes at the election which was held at Eagles Square, Abuja.

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi trailed with 316 votes, while Vice President Yemi Osinbajo garnered 235 votes.

Senate President Ahmed Lawan and Governor Yahaya Bello polled 152 and 47 votes respectively.

A few weeks later, Tinubu, a Muslim, announced a fellow Muslim, Kashim Shettima, a former Borno governor as his running mate.

This has been condemned by many Christians and some Muslims alike.
