The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, has said the North should support President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027.\n<\/p>\n
He insisted that any Northerner seeking the presidency in 2027 would be working against the region\u2019s interests.\n<\/p>\n
Akume said the North should allow Tinubu to complete his political project before considering another presidential bid in 2031.\n<\/p>\n
The SGF stated this on Saturday while addressing Benue State indigenes resident in Kaduna ahead of the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign in the state capital.<\/p>\n
He urged Northerners to remain united and resist political ambitions capable of dividing the region ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe North must remain united and focus on its collective interest rather than allow individual ambitions to divide us,\u201d Akume said.\n<\/p>\n
The former Benue State governor argued that the region needed to consider its long-term political interests and the implications of the 2027 presidential election for its future.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cPresident Bola Tinubu should be allowed to complete his political project before the North considers its own presidential ambition in 2031.\u201d <\/p>\n
Akume also cautioned against attempts to divide Northerners along political, religious and personal lines, stressing that unity remained essential to the region\u2019s political relevance.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must not allow political, religious or personal differences to undermine our common interests. The strength of the North lies in our ability to work together,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
The SGF further called for peaceful coexistence and cooperation among Nigeria\u2019s diverse ethnic and religious communities, saying national development depended on unity.\n<\/p>\n
He urged the people to examine political developments carefully and avoid being misled by individuals whose ambitions might conflict with the broader interests of the region.\n<\/p>\n
The meeting brought together Benue indigenes living in Kaduna and other political stakeholders to discuss issues affecting their community, political representation and engagement with leaders at the national level.\n<\/p>\n
The APC presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna is expected to bring together party leaders, supporters and political stakeholders from across the country.<\/p>\n
