The presidency has said that President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term like his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.
Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to the president on information and strategy said Tinubu is a Nigerian and deserves such rights.
Speaking in an interview with Trust Radio, Onanuga urged citizens and politicians alike to desist from pursuing personal interests.
He said it is important for all to make sacrifices for the good of the country and all Nigerians.
According to him, some individuals and leaders have targeted President Tinubu because he is from the Southern part of the country.
He said these individuals are making efforts to pitch the Northerners against the president ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
He also debunked claims that President Tinubu has sidelined the Northern region in terms of development, appointment among others.
Describing such claims as falsehood, Onanuga said these assertions are driven by political agendas.
He said, “This President is a Nigerian. He deserves the same two terms that Buhari had. Let’s not sacrifice the country for personal ambition.
“You need to get your statistics right. It’s all political mischief designed to undermine the President. There are bad roads across the country, not just in the North.
“The National Security Adviser, Chief of Defence Staff, and the two Defence Ministers are all Northerners. Places like Birnin Gwari and Igabi (in Kaduna) are now safer. I drove from Kaduna to Abuja without incident, a journey that was once unthinkable,” Onanuga said.
