A huge crowd of Peoples Democratic Party supporters on Tuesday welcomed the party’s presidentail candidate and members of his campaign team to Katsina State in Northwest Nigeria.
Katsina is the home state of incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari who is also the leader of the ruling All Progressives. The ruling party will be aiming to have an easy ride in the presidential election that comes up in February 2023 just like it has had in recent past. But the large crowd that showed up at the oppposition party’s campaign may be an indication that there is actually a contest and any party that hopes to take the day among the major contenders will need to do more to convince voters in Katsina.
