Game-Changer Alert: Oyalowo Reveals Why Northern Voters Are Rallying Behind Tinubu In 2027

Ayo Oyalowo, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asserted that northerners have no grievances against President Bola Tinubu or his administration. He stressed that the region enjoys strong representation in Tinubu’s government, with northerners holding several key positions.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Oyalowo dismissed claims that the North is unhappy with the president, describing them as narratives pushed by a few elites seeking personal benefits.

“Tinubu has no issues with the North. Many of the most important offices in this administration are occupied by northerners. For example, the newly appointed Chairman and CEO of NERC is from Kano. Those who complain are simply those who didn’t get what they wanted,” he said.

Oyalowo expressed confidence that Tinubu will secure a resounding victory across the 19 northern states in the 2027 elections, particularly in the North-West, North-Central, and North-East.

He pointed to recent videos showing students in Sokoto and Bauchi celebrating after the federal government paid their NELFUND fees as proof of widespread satisfaction among ordinary Nigerians. “Some people choose to focus only on complaints about hunger, but those who truly needed help have been reached,” he added.

The APC member also maintained that genuine northern leaders stand with Tinubu, urging critics like former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai to be disregarded. He cited supportive statements from the governors of Katsina and Kaduna, as well as positive feedback from a recent town hall meeting with northern political leaders, highlighting the president’s achievements in the region.
