NORTH Strikes Back! ! Politicians Exposes Tinubu’s Sin Ahead Of 2027 Election
As Nigeria gears up for the 2027 presidential election, a prominent northern politician has openly criticized President Bola Tinubu’ s administration, accusing him of alienating northern interests and fostering a sense of exclusion among many Nigerians. The politician, whose identity remains undisclosed, listed several grievances against the president, focusing primarily on issues of lopsided appointments and waning public trust in his government.
The critic alleged that President Tinubu’ s appointments to key political and administrative positions disproportionately favor specific regions, sidelining the North and other areas of the country. This perceived imbalance, according to the politician, has deepened regional divides and undermined the federal character principle enshrined in Nigeria’ s Constitution, which mandates fair representation across the country.
” Many in the North feel excluded from decision- making under Tinubu’ s administration, ” the politician reportedly said. ” The president’ s choices have made it clear that certain regions are prioritized while others are neglected, leading to growing frustration and mistrust in the government. ”
This sentiment comes amidst rising tension between the presidency and northern political elites. Analysts believe the North, traditionally a significant voting bloc, feels its interests have not been adequately represented since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023. The criticisms also extend to broader governance issues, including the handling of economic challenges and insecurity, which have left many Nigerians disillusioned.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Tinubu, a former two- time governor of Lagos State and a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), is widely expected to seek re- election in 2027. However, the growing dissatisfaction among northern leaders and citizens poses a potential threat to his ambitions. Political observers argue that retaining northern support is crucial for any presidential candidate’ s success in Nigeria, given the region’ s significant electoral influence.
The criticism from the North adds to the challenges Tinubu already faces, including widespread economic discontent over his controversial subsidy removal policy and the depreciation of the naira. While his administration has taken steps to address these issues, such as social intervention programs and initiatives to attract foreign investment, public perception remains largely negative.
As the 2027 election approaches, the northern bloc’ s dissatisfaction may fuel alliances with opposition parties or encourage the emergence of a strong northern candidate to challenge Tinubu. Prominent figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former President Goodluck Jonathan, and Labour Party leader Peter Obi are already being discussed as potential challengers.
Tinubu’ s ability to navigate these criticisms and rebuild trust with the North will be critical in the coming years. His re- election campaign may hinge on addressing these grievances and convincing Nigerians of his commitment to inclusive governance and equitable representation.
