Governor Uba Sani has dismissed opposition claims that the North will reject President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. He made the remarks while talking about Tinubu’s chances in that race.
Sani told listeners that the Arewa people of northern Nigeria will not vote along religious, ethnic or tribal lines in 2027. He also knocked the opposition’s argument that the election is a showdown between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and “the Nigerian people,” calling it weak.
He sounded confident Tinubu can win again and said the North will back him strongly. His words:
“President Tinubu will win the North in 2027. The North will not vote based on religion, ethnicity, or tribe. I have seen people coming here telling you it’s APC versus the Nigerian people; that is the laziest argument I have ever heard in my life.”
