Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former Special Adviser on Political Matters to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has declared that for the forthcoming 2027 Presidential Election in Nigeria, the North will support a candidate that is competent and ready to solve the region’s problems and so Northerners’ support will no longer be based on “religion or ethnicity.”

The former Spokesman of Northern Elders Forum said: “We are tired of being deceived into voting based on religion or ethnicity. That era is over. We just want a right leader, we just want someone who will solve our problems.”

Making reference to the video of an interview Baba-Ahmed granted in Hausa language, Channels Television’s report quoted him as saying: No politician can win the presidency in 2027 without the support of the region.

He told northerners to resist divisive and deceptive politicians ahead of the next general elections.

As he puts it: “In the next six months, the North will decide where it stands. If the rest of the country wants to join us, fine. If not, we will go our own way. One thing is clear: nobody can become president of Nigeria without northern support.

“We want a government that understands our problems and can address them. After Buhari’s eight years, we became wiser. Now, we are in another government, and we are still crying. Is crying all we know how to do?”

He added: “If they plan to rig the election, they should be careful. It won’t be good for Nigeria. The North is watching, elders, masses, and interest groups will soon say “enough is enough ‘. The injustice and sidelining must stop…

“We are tired of being deceived into voting based on religion or ethnicity. That era is over. We just want a right leader, we just want someone who will solve our problems,” he said.
