Arewa Youth Movement Advises Tinubu to Pick Northern Christian as VP for 2027
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.
Tonye Cole speaks out on Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s emergence and continuation as the Governor of Rivers State.
He shared his thoughts, saying the governor likely consulted with his close allies before making key decisions.
“My assumption is that the governor would have gone with his own close allies, discussed with them, and said that this is the best way, that he has to move forward for the next six months or thereabouts of his administration. I would assume that’s what he did.”
“But I am not in his chamber, so I wouldn’t know. But that’s what I would assume he would do.”
He added “But having taken the responsibility to come and finish his term, then he has to finish it in the way that allows him to govern. He can’t go back into fighting.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
