A former Minister of Education and Governor of Kano State, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, has advised Nigerian electorates against judging the acceptability and popularity of Candidates by the crowd at Rally.
Shekarau, who is the current Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial Zone, gave the advice in Kano on Tuesday at a Media Interactive Session held in the State Capital.
The former Governor, who is a Mathematician, gave mathematical analysis about crowd gathered by politicians at a Rally saying such crowd at election Rallies do not represent reality.
“Don’t be carried away by crowd and judge the popularity of a candidate by it.
“We have seen many candidates in the past polling crowd but at the end of the day they were defeated at the polls,” he said.
Shekarau said the Media Interactive Session was organized to showcase the score-card of his activities at the 9th Assembly which has been documented in a book titled, “Shekarau, Senator Representing Kano Central Senatorial Zone (2019 – 2023) Exemplary Leadership and Effective Representation in the 9th Senate.”
