There were:

1. Ahmadu Bello

2. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa

3. Aminu Kano

4. Abubakar Rimi, and

5. Muhammadu Buhari.

Muhammadu Buhari committed class suicide. Despite being a General in the Army and being a minister of petroleum and natural resources as well as governor of old Northeastern state, Buhari was not openly aligned with the elites in the north. They were never in support of him being the president. His aversion for luxury and open elitism attracted him to the poor masses. They felt his humble background and humble living resonated with them.

They could connect with him on that level.

It took Buhari more than 20 years to build that cult followership. He succeeded because he committed class suicide. As an elite, he refused to be on the side of the elites and sided with the poor. He was not seen living ostentatiously. He was hated by the elites in the north. When he came back to run for president, his greatest opposition was the northern elite gang. He wasn't their friend. The poor masses gave him votes and fought for him. When he became president, the elites sought him out to be his friend. No one has his credentials. No one takes over from him.

Atiku has not shown consistency in his politics, having defected from PDP-->AC-->PDP-->APC-->PDP-->ADC--> Such flip-flop political acrobatics does not enshrine trust in followers.

The closest who was a shining star was the chairman of the subsidy probe who was exposed on camera collecting a bribe and going to prison which ended his career. Others with promising credentials are Kashim Shettima and Babagana Zulum.

What I think may happen is the concentration of regional political arrowheads. The northwest may align behind one person, the northeast may align with theirs (likely Shettima or Zulum), the northcentral will always be a battleground due to the numerous ethnic groups. The southwest mostly aligns with one person. The southsouth will also be a battleground due to their numerous ethnic groups. I am not sure the southeast will align behind one person.

The politics of the future will be determined by who is able to make friends across geopolitical zones.

You have good understanding of northern politics and Nigeria national discourse.


I've been telling people about Atiku not loved in the north, they argue and permutate lies..

With Buhari out of the picture, 2027 will put all this to rest.

Damn! Mad work!

I knew something was leaking out with the way Iran was just frying the Iron dome. It was glaring they had credible info about its weakness.

The world needs to give it up for Iran. First country to convert Iron to wood. They humiliated Israel’s defense system.

First time Netanyahu begged for peace.

He thought he was fighting women and children but met his match.
