Both of the contenders have their camps active and bent on leaving no stone unturned for the success of their candidate.
A twist emerged recently in which Newstunnel exclusively obtained a document which one Professor Abdussamad Jibia petitioned the governing board of the university recently headed by Ibrahim Agboola Gambari, the chief of staff to President Buhari on the need to stop Tanko from contesting while accusing him of handling religious issues in an unsatisfactory way.
The two page petition also lamented how the Deputy Vice Chancellor had disregard for rule when he chaired the senate committee.
But a keen supporter of Professor Tanko lambasted the petition while dismissing it as a desperate attempt by the camp of Sagir Abbas camp to discredit the people’s choice.
The staff who craved anonymity said Tanko would make a better leader if elected.
Efforts to reach out to the university spokesperson Lamara Garba proved abortive at the time of filing report.
