Kwara residents waved ecstatically on the streets of Ilorin to usher in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other dignitaries to the state for the campaign flag off.

The candidate, his running mate Kashim Shettima and party chairman Abdullahi Adamu arrived the city in company of several APC leaders and apparatchiks.

Theh were received by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and a legion of APC candidates and leaders from across the state of harmony.

It was a rally like no others in the recent history of the state, with security agencies struggling to clear the human traffic that heralded Asiwaju's arrival to the city of Sheikh Alimi. He waived the broom and danced to the different tunes of music crooned by supporters and admirers alike.

On the welcome train were Minister of Information Lai Mohammed, the three senators from Kwara and their colleagues from Kogi and other parts of Nigeria, cabinet members, APC candidates, and hundreds of party stalwarts - many donning the Emilokan cap, others adorned with the insignia of his cap.
