The emir of Daura, Umar Farouk Umar, has shown open support to President Bola Tinubu’s reelection, ordering a delegation led by the First Lady Remi Tinubu to chant “Tinubu, Tinubu, Tinubu in 2027…”

Mrs Tinubu, on Saturday paid a condolence visit to the family of late former President Muhammadu Buhari as well as the Emir of Daura in Daura, Katsina State.

The first lady was accompanied by several high-profile women, including the wife of the Vice President, Hajiya Nana Shettima; wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hajiya Fatima Abbas; wife of the Deputy Senate President, Hajiya Laila Barau; wives of various state governors, ministers, service chiefs, and other prominent women.

The emir, while responding to the first lady’s remark, thanked the first lady and her team for showing up at the time of their grief.

He further appreciated President Tinubu for his relentless love support to the late president and the Daura Emirate in Council and for showing an example of good leadership standards.

He said that president Tinubu’s continuous support and the visit by the first lady underscores a national unity and respect for a patriotic leader.

He said the support from president Tinubu and his cabinet members and family goes beyond being a political leader but further symbolizes a togetherness in times of grief.

The emir said that the people of Daura will never forget Mr Tinubu’s good deeds and promised that they would also reciprocate his kindness.

In his final remark, the nonagenarian monarch stood up and began chanting “Tinubu, Tinubu, Tinubu in 2027”.

Nodding in affirmation, the emir said, “Repeat after me: Tinubu Tinubu, Tinubu in 2027.”

Earlier paying tribute to the late president, Mrs Tinubu described Buhari as “not only a statesman but a symbol of integrity, discipline, and devotion to Nigeria”.

“I am here today, together with Hajiya Shettima and a lot of us to pay condolences to you all.

“I also want to acknowledge the queen of Daura Kingdom, we are here just to commiserate and to pay our condolences to Your Royal Highness for your loss.

“At the same time, you had a very dignified and proud son that you are supposed to be proud of, the deputy governor and all the sons of Daura that are supposed to emulate his virtue.

“I believe that all your citizens here must have been from very good stocks, in spite that it is a painful loss for us, it is also a thing of pride to have had such a worthy son from this land who has not only done Daura proud, also the entire nation and the world at large both as a military man and as a civilian leader.

“We all miss him, both him and my family shared a deep relationship so, we didn’t come here as a duty of office but I came because my husband has lost an ally, a friend of many years in spite of the fact that he was our leader.

“We came to offer our condolences to you, all of us women that are here today and to pray that God will console and comfort you and that God will also forgive him if all his short comings, grant him eternal rest,” she added.

Northerners would so carry Tinubu handicap in 2027. They now know what he likes and are willing to play along.

I don't know if Mr. Obi will be able to deliver the kind of Nigeria he and the obidients are painting.

Little steps in the right direction matters alot in life and I feel like we are heading towards the right direction with Tinubu as president. Although pace of progress may be slow.
