2027 Presidency: No Candidate Can Win Without The North Baba-ahmed

Former Special Adviser on Political Matters to President Bola Tinubu, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has declared that no politician could win the presidency in 2027 without the support of the north.

Speaking in a video interview in Kaduna over the weekend, Baba-Ahmed, who appeared alongside Professor Usman Yusuf, former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, emphasised that the north would soon define its political direction.

He said: 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.

He lamented the state of the nation and urged northerners to resist divisive and deceptive politicians, ahead of the next general elections.

We want a government that understands our problems and can address them. After Buharis eight years, we became wiser.
