A key figure in President Bola Tinubu’s support group, Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, has stated that former presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, do not have the influence to turn the North against his principal.
Speaking via a statement, Alawuje boasted that every move made by those against Tinubu is being closely monitored.
He said, “Be warned. There is no political or ethnic scheme you can execute without the awareness of our agents. The North will not be deceived again.”
Recalling Tinubu’s pivotal role in the 2015 elections, Alawuje said history will not forget how the then-APC National Leader “stood firmly with the North when it mattered most.”
“At that crucial moment, Tinubu traversed the region, convincing millions who once opposed Buhari to support him. The North has not forgotten that selfless act.”
He described the North as “a region of loyalty and honour,” stressing that it would “reward Tinubu with its votes again in 2027.”
The Tinubu loyalist accused Atiku of masking a “Northern agenda” while alleging that Peter Obi was “hiding behind religious sentiments.”
“Both are playing hypocritical politics of the highest order. No propaganda will turn the North against its trusted ally from the Southwest,” he declared.
Citing recent remarks by the Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Muhammad Sanusi II, who noted that “Nigeria has pulled back from the brink of economic collapse,” Alawuje commended President Tinubu’s “bold and transformative reforms.”
“Tinubu is performing exceptionally well, transforming Nigeria’s economic and developmental landscape. Nigerians only need patience,” he added.
Praising the President’s resilience amid criticism, Alawuje said Tinubu’s governance had silenced detractors.
“Despite social media ‘economists’ sowing fear, Tinubu has proven them wrong. He is a courageous and visionary leader, an economic reformer and a true champion of human development,” he said.
