\u200eA chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former House of Representative member representing Birnin-Kudu\/ Buji in Jigawa State, Engr. Magaji Da\u2019u Aliyu, has claimed that Northern political leaders begged President Bola Tinubu to support former President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s presidential ambition and promised to return power to his side after eight years.<\/p>\n

\u200eAliyu, who is also the Deputy Campaign Director of the North for Tinubu Support Group, disclosed this while addressing supporters in Birnin Kudu.<\/p>\n

\u200eHe said the North has no justification for opposing Tinubu\u2019s re-election in the 2027 general election, insisting that the region must honour the political agreement allegedly reached before Buhari became president in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200eAccording to him, Buhari had contested the presidential election three times without success before Northern political leaders approached Tinubu in Lagos to seek his support.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201dBuhari contested the presidential election three times and lost. We then went to Lagos to beg Tinubu to support Buhari\u2019s presidential ambition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201dHe agreed to support us on the understanding that after Buhari\u2019s eight years in office, power would return to his side, and we accepted the agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200eAliyu maintained that supporting Tinubu\u2019s re-election in 2027 is a matter of honouring the promise made to him, stressing that Northerners have no reason to abandon the agreement.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201dFor every Northerner, fulfilling that agreement is mandatory. We have no reason not to honour the agreement we entered into,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200eThe APC chieftain pledged that members of the Northern Tinubu Support Group would commit their resources towards ensuring the President\u2019s victory in the next presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201dOn our part, we will support Tinubu\u2019s re-election bid with our lives and wealth to ensure that we fulfil the promise we made,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200eSpeaking on insecurity, Aliyu also defended President Tinubu against criticism over the country\u2019s security challenges.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200eHe argued that no human being has absolute power to guarantee security, insisting that only God can provide lasting peace and stability.<\/p>\n

\u200e<\/p>\n

\u200e\u201dLet us stop the blame game. Only God has the power to provide security. We should seek His forgiveness, and He will grant us peace and stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
