Mohammed speaks as North moves against Tinubu
TheTalk.NG reported that the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) insisted that the Northern region of Nigeria is unhappy with Tinubu’s administration.
ACF noted that their sentiment reflects a regret over past electoral choices and hints at a potential shift in political support for the 2027 election.
But Governor Mohammed, stated that while the 36 state governors have confidence in the president’s leadership, the actions of certain cabinet members are undermining his efforts.

He commended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara for delivering good governance despite political challenges and urged Rivers people to support Fubara for a second term in 2027.
