The Arewa Youth Movement has recommended that for President Bola Tinubu to secure victory in the 2027 presidential election, he should choose a Northern Christian as his running mate.

This suggestion is aimed at addressing the religious and regional imbalances that were highlighted in previous elections. During a briefing in Abuja on Monday, the group’s leaders, including National President Ambassador Muhammed Sa’ad Aboki, stressed the importance of inclusivity in the political process.

The movement believes that selecting a Northern Christian as a vice-presidential candidate would boost Tinubu’s support, particularly in the Middle Belt and among northern Christians. “One of the most discussed possibilities is Tinubu’s re-election bid, which could reshape the political landscape,” said Aboki. He added that choosing a Christian running mate would help address the religious imbalance seen in the past and broaden Tinubu’s appeal, particularly in regions with a significant Christian population.

Aboki noted that a Northern Christian vice-presidential candidate would send a strong message of unity, inclusiveness, and sensitivity to Nigeria’s diverse religious makeup. The 2023 election results shows the importance of religious inclusivity in securing votes across Nigeria’s diverse regions, with Tinubu losing in states like the Federal Capital Territory, Nasarawa, and Plateau, where northern Christians are a key demographic.

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.

Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.

“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
