A chieftain of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, says the North will soon decide whether President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be returned to office in 2027.
The former ACF spokesman made the remark on Sunday during an interview.
Baba-Ahmed had just resigned from the government as Political Adviser to the President, in the office of the Vice President.
His exit has raised suggestion that he’s no longer happy with the Tinubu’s administration which he had trenchantly criticised in the past before his appointment last year.
Other analysts insist that he left the government to join other “political forces” from the north to continue to put pressure on the administration ahead the next election.
The former Political Adviser to the President, in his latest attack on the administration said northerners have been marginalised by the administration and will soon say “enough is enough”, adding that no politician can become president without support for the region.
According to him, the region will take advantage of it’s population to decide, in the next presidential election, whether Tinubu will be returned to power.
Baba-Ahmed spoke as dusts continue to gather against President Tinubu from the region, as key political and religious leaders continue to mount pressure on his government.
Some top political leaders have openly declared that the president will not get their support in the next presidential election.
They cited worsening insecurity and economic problems ravaging the region as their reason, accusing the president of abandoning the region after the massive support they gave him during the 2033 presidential election.
He said the administration has failed to tackle the myriad of problems facing the north, apart from the injustice that have been meted out to its people, adding that the “injustice and sidelining must stop.”
Baba-Ahmed however Warns that “If they plan to rig the election, they should be careful. It won’t be good for Nigeria.
Adding that “No politician can become president without northern support, making the region’s stance crucial to any aspirant’s success.
“The Northern region’s support is crucial in determining the outcome of the 2027 elections,” he noted.
