I see this narrative often but I dont buy it.

Tinubu is the president of Nigeria and not just the south or the southwest. The north can feel however they want to feel, it wont stop him from winning the election.

He has the south east, south south and a chunk of the north already in his pocket. So let the northern elites grumble, it wont change anything.

6 Reasons Why Northern Political Forces May Be Turning Against Tinubu Ahead of 2027″


Which North? North East or North West. Politically, North is a farce. North East and North West are mostly in the opposite sides of the parties.

Tinubu has always have one problem or another politically, but always come out winning. 2027 will not be different.

easytig:
When the core northerners strip support for anyone,that person is gone, Tinubu should ask Jonathan,and if he proves too stubborn he go collect

AMINDA:
Fear, is that you? Northerners are not cowards. If they are for you, they do so wholeheartedly. If they are against you, they go all out. Northerners will largely not support Tinubu in 2027 and heaven will not fall. And if heaven falls, then so be it!

How has Tinubu treated the North and even Northerners like Elrufai who went all out, staking everything to support him in 2023? Shettima is next in line to be used and dumped while Kwankwaso is now the new bride. Well, Kwankwaso is not a fool. Tinubu thinks he can rubbish respected Northern leaders without consequences? Well, he's grossly mistaken! Barring rigging (which will be resisted) and other shady practices like infiltrating other political parties to prevent them from fielding candidates, there's no pathway to Tinubu's re-election.

My own is that if the north openly opposes Tinubu and he eventually wins, it mean say north own don finish be that.

DO you guys really want good governance.

1. First, anytime a Nigerian commits crime, people will beg for him to be freed. Sometimes crime goes unreported because families have come to an agreement. Under good government, such things will end.

2. Your favourite politican under good government would be prosecuted. That means obasanjo, buhari, yaradua, gej, and tinubu would face probes, and would be jailed. But see no 1...people will beg, and if no one hears begging, well, anarchy results.

3. You won't be able to jump queue, but you would have to wait in line.

4. Your driving licence could be suspended because the traffic cameras saw you jumping the red light three times, plus if FRSC catches you, you could be fined or jailed, AND Your driving licence would be suspended. Nothing like begging, nothing like you need your driving to sustain your hustle.

5. You don't like paying your DISCO light bill. ? Under a good government, you would be cut off, and you would have to pay your debts to the max. Nothing like we are poor , or why should we pay for darkness...you pay or you get cut off. You attack disco workers...you get sent to jail for assault and battery for a few years.

6. You like crossing the road anyhow. FInes.

7. YOur child misses school? Fines, and possibly jail. Nothing like 'i am too poor to pay fees'.

8. Everyone now has to pay tax, because that is how good government rolls...they are dependent on revenue from taxes because it helps keep them honest...misuse the money, and you lose power . But you now have to pay tax , half your salary?

9. No more bribery or collecting of bribe. No more padding of budget. You go to jail. Your favorite politican who sponsored scholarships for youth in the village, and bought school uniform for the primary school students, goes to jail for taking a bribe. You go like am.



I can go on


YOU SURE YOU WANT GOOD GOVERNMENT?

The core North will be commiting political suicide in 2027 if they follow likes of Datti-Ahmed, El-rufai and co.. The best bet is for them to support PBAT to complete 8 years just like our people supported Buhari to complete 8 years.
Any sinister move to stop South's 8 years turn in power will cause serious political tension in Nigeria. Moreover, the Middle Belt/North Central won't vote for any Fulani ticket because of the mass murder going on in Plateau and Benue States. Supporting a Fulani person to power is like signing their own death warrant.
