We have had cause to alert the security agencies to keep these pollsters under watch because their intention is to prepare ground for unrest by giving false hope of winning to Mr. Obi\u2019s motley crowd of supporters who have a predilection for violence with the way they bully, harass, intimidate and insult anyone who thinks differently from them.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Alake said Tinubu has redefined the template of presidential campaigns in the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cOur campaign introduced town hall interactive sessions into this campaign to take our message directly to the people across various sectors and segments of the society,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIn so doing, Asiwaju Tinubu and Senator Shettima took their programmes to the people.
