“You can cry till eternity, but Tinubu won’t get northern votes in 2027.

“We mustn’t allow these mischievous bigots to estrange us from the northern base that supported the APC since 2015 and actively ensured that power returned to the south in 2023 in the spirit of true federalism.

“We must take time to explain, educate and clarify as much as possible.”
