Arewa Leader Sani: Atiku and Jonathan Can’t Beat Tinubu in 2027 — North’s Eyes are Set on 2031!

Published

Recently, there have been unconfirmed reports that former President Goodluck Jonathan could join the race for the 2027 presidential election. Those flying the news believe he could be the right man to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the polls.

Apart from Jonathan, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar is also seen in some circles as one of the favourites.

However, former Secretary General of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Anthony Sani, in this interview with Only Big Story, rules out the possibility of Atiku and Jonathan defeating Tinubu if he they join the race in 2027. Excerpts!

With the numbers of imminent Nigerian politicians in the coalition, do you think ADC stands a chance of unseating Tinubu in 2027?

I am not a psychologist but I guess that the coalition would not be able to unseat the incumbent president precisely because the eminent people joining the ADC are from PDP. As a result,the opposition is being split and weakened by the movement to ADP.

You would recall the APC prevailed in 2023 because Peter Obi and five Governors G5 under the watch of Gov Wike left PDP. Such a split of opposition seems to repeat itself for 2027.

Can Atiku muster the kind of votes he got during the 2023 presidential election in 2027 should he decide to finally run in 2027?

Since most southerners would prefer the president to remain in the South for eight years from 2023 and most Northerners would prefer President Bola Tinubu because he is the only southerner who has only one term of four years to go, it will be difficult for former VP Atiku to device any winning game plan in the circumstance.

With the current political atmosphere in the North, where is the region likely to swing in 2027? Stay with Tinubu or back its own, Atiku if he decides to run?

I told you the dynamics of the politics of zoning does not favor Atiku because both the North and the South want the president to be in the North in 2031.

Note that in 2023, Bola Tinubu prevailed in the north despite Atiku being their own, all because of the politics of zoning.

There are reports that Jonathan has accepted to run in 2027, do you think it’s the right move?

I have read reports that former President Jonathan has agreed to join the presidential contest under the PDP. But I am not sure that will be a wise decision in the sense that the former president is politically savvy and savant enough not to know that the main opposition is currently fragmented- into former VP Atiku to contest in ADC, Peter Obi to contest in Labour Party and the former president Jonathan in PDP- and not sturdy enough to confront the incumbent and prevail.

Considering the current state of Nigeria, does Jonathan have what it takes to turn the tide around?

What is more, there is nothing in his past performances that suggests he can overcome the current insecurity, to overwhelm the corruption that steals our empowerment, steals our opportunity and steals our future, and turn the economy around.

Disqualified Big Brother Naija season 10 housemate Faith has partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative to support vulnerable families in Lagos.

The outreach programme, part of the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program, aims to provide relief for families struggling with hunger and the cost-of-living crisis.

According to a tweet via Lagos Food Bank’s page, it reads, “Big Brother changed his life, now he’s choosing to change the world. Faith Adewale is not just using his voice; he’s using his platform to give back.”

Faith had previously volunteered with LFBI’s #NUMEPlan, a program focused on treating and feeding malnourished children.

“After volunteering at Lagos Food Bank under the #NUMEPLAN program, where malnourished children are treated and fed, he made a promise to return and do more.

“On Wednesday, 15th October, he’s keeping that promise as he will be joining us at the Food Bank Warehouse for an impactful TEFAP Program to serve vulnerable families. This isn’t just an outreach, it’s a movement of love, hope, and action”, the statement reads.

This new initiative showcases Faith’s commitment to using his platform for purpose-driven work and giving back to the community.

The Lagos Food Bank Initiative is also collaborating with five outstanding NGOs to strengthen communities and reduce food insecurity across Nigeria.

“Together, we’re making a real difference in the fight against hunger. This collaboration strengthens communities and helps reduce food insecurity across Nigeria.

“Nigeria faces a paradox of food surplus and widespread hunger. Our mission is to bridge that gap to ensure no one goes hungry while food goes to waste,” the statement read.

“Our target group in this program is the very needy cases of persons who are aged, disabled, patients of diet-related diseases, or beneficiaries severely affected by the negative effects of the cost-of-living crisis.

“The agricultural landscape in Nigeria presents a complex challenge, with significant food surplus coexisting alongside widespread hunger and food insecurity.

“Despite being a prominent agricultural producer, the nation grapples with food loss and waste across the supply chain, leading to economic losses, environmental degradation, and inadequate access to nourishing sustenance for many Nigerians”, the statement concluded.

Since his disqualification, Faith has spoken openly about his journey, revealing that he took a N5 million loan to participate in the show, an experience he described as “transformational.”
