A group, the Arewa Youth Movement (AYM), Sunday, said the re – election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would certainly reshape the political landscape of Nigeria.
National president of AYM, Ambassador Muhammed Saad Aboki, said President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will record landslide victory in northern states.
He said: “As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, the political atmosphere is gradually heating up, with speculations and permutations taking shape across the country.
“Among the most discussed prospects is President Bola Tinubu, whose potential re-election bid could reshape the political landscape once more. While many factors will play in the outcome of the election, a compelling argument can be made that Tinubu stands a better chance of winning if he strategically selects a Christian vice presidential candidate from Northern Nigeria.
“President Tinubu is a seasoned political strategist and a central figure in Nigerian politics. His influence dates back to his tenure as Lagos state governor from 1999 to 2007, during which he built a formidable political network that now extends nationwide.
“Tinubu is the architect of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party that successfully unseated the then-ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015. His ability to mobilise political support, manage alliances, and command loyalty within the APC makes him a formidable contender.
“In 2023 elections, Tinubu demonstrated resilience and strategic insight by navigating a highly competitive field and emerging victorious. Despite criticisms and challenges, he maintained a coalition strong enough to clinch the presidency. This victory cemented his place as a master tactician with a deep understanding of Nigerian politics.
“Nigeria’s political history is deeply intertwined with regional and religious considerations. Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, major political parties have often maintained a balance between the North and South, as well as between Christians and Muslims. This balance is seen as a way to foster national unity and ensure inclusiveness in governance.”
