Abdullahi Saulawa wrote:

"Nasiru will definitely win on social media. But when it comes to the grassroots Kwankwaso will beat him. Keep in mind I’m not part of Kwankwasiya movement but I know Kwankwaso is more in touch with the common folks. He’s not a full-blown capitalist."

Barambu Abdulsalam Umar said:

"Don't deceive yourself like the Obidients."

Chijioke Godwin wrote:

"El-Rufai influence cut across every part of the North and South West, but Kwankwaso influence seemed to be limited to Kano."

@hallirupaki1 said:

"Elrufa'i is a man of his word, no matter how people think implementing of a thing is impossible if Mallam says otherwise, believe me he will deliver, even if he is the only one in the table."
