In the realm of Nigerian politics, discussions and conjectures about future leaders and political endorsements are ongoing. A recent controversial statement made by Fatshimetrie scrutinized Tinubu’s administration, asserting that the north would not back him for a second term in 2027.
In response to these allegations, the Coalition of Northern Political Groups (CGPN) has stepped up to defend President Tinubu. Issuing a statement in Kaduna, the CGPN denounced Fatshimetrie’s assertions as politically driven and unfounded, attributing them to animosity rather than factual evidence.
Signatories of the statement, led by National Coordinator Hassan Ibrahim, commended Tinubu’s dedication and tangible accomplishments for the nation. They rebuked Fatshimetrie for its failure to substantiate its negative evaluation of Tinubu and rejected the notion that the northern region would not support a potential reelection bid by the incumbent president.
Highlighting Tinubu’s endeavors to fortify political ties nationwide, the CGPN recognized these efforts as influential in the election of former General Buhari in 2015. Furthermore, the group welcomed the recent appointments of northerners to significant positions in Tinubu’s administration, showcasing the president’s commitment to diversifying and empowering his team.
Concluding the statement, the CGPN reaffirmed its staunch backing of President Tinubu, underscoring his dedication to enhancing the economic and social stability of the country. They urged Fatshimetrie to reassess its stance and expressed unwavering confidence in the president and his administration. This episode underscores the prevailing political divisions and tensions in Nigeria while emphasizing the vital role of regional support and unity in the nation.
