Governor Umar Bago of Niger State has slammed those agitating for a northern presidency.

This is as he declared that political power will return to the northern region after President Bola Tinubu completes a second term in office.

Bago criticised those already agitating for a northern presidency just two years into Tinubu’s tenure, warning that such demands were premature.

“For crying out loud, this man has just spent two years in office and you want it to come back to the north. How?” the governor asked. “When he finishes his eight years, power will come to the north and northerners who want to contest can then contest.”

“When he (President) finishes his eight years, power will come to the North and northerners, who want to contest, can then contest.”The governor assured Tinubu of total loyalty and support in Niger State, stressing that there are no dissenting voices.

He insisted that the North and South must maintain the eight years rotation policy.

“In Niger State, there is no dissenting voice. Nigeria is coexisting peacefully because we have decided to embrace a kind of rotation in governance; the North will do eight years, the South will do eight years.

“For crying out loud, this man has just spent two years in office, and you want it to come back to the north. How?” he asked.

“When he (Tinubu) finishes his eight years, power will come to the north, and northerners who want to contest can then contest.”

He said there was “no going back” on the plan and restated that the Tinubu campaign headquarters would be in Minna, the Niger state capital.

“I have made myself the DG of Tinubu’s campaign for 2027, and no going back about that. Our headquarters will be in Minna,” he said.

“The president has the prerogative to appoint somebody, but Niger state is ready to lead from the north.”

The governor also opined that the rotational presidency gentleman’s agreement has maintained Nigeria’s fragile political balance, while pledging to mobilise youths and voters across the north for Tinubu.

“These people you are talking about don’t control the youths. We control the youths, and the youths are with Asiwaju,” he added.

“Don’t worry about what people say. As far as we are concerned in Niger state, Asiwaju 2027 is constant.”
