Presidency says Tinubu Should Complete Eight Years Just Like Buhari
The presidency says President Bola Tinubu should be given the chance to complete a second term in office, just like former President Muhammadu Buhari did. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, made this known during an interview with Trust Radio, urging northern politicians to allow the South finish its time in power.
He reminded critics that the South waited patiently through Buhari’s eight years and called recent claims of marginalisation by the Arewa Consultative Forum an attempt to paint the Tinubu administration in a bad light. Onanuga argued that many of the attacks on the President are rooted in regional bias and not based on facts.
“This president is a Nigerian, and he deserves the same opportunity Buhari had. Let’s not let personal ambition tear the country apart,” he said. Addressing the criticism that federal appointments are favouring the Southwest, Onanuga challenged those making the claims to bring evidence and not rely on vague accusations.
He also dismissed worries about poor infrastructure in the North, saying Tinubu’s government inherited many unfinished and abandoned projects. Onanuga pointed to the appointment of key security positions held by Northerners as proof that the administration is fair in its representation.
Additionally, he added that security has improved in some parts of the North, including Birnin Gwari and Igabi in Kaduna, sharing that he recently drove from Kaduna to Abuja without any issues, a journey that used to be risky.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
