A member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has warned that it would be a dangerous calculation to assume that President Bola Tinubu has no support in the North.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television, he asserted that Tinubu still commands a strong following in the region.
He argued that while there might be people who want him out of power, there are others who still stand firmly behind him.
“Tinubu is not an orphan in the north. He has people in the north. Maybe they’re not talking as much as they should, but he has people. So, as much as you have people who want him out, you also have people who want him in.
“And as events keep unfolding, you will see people who will come here opposing and people who will come here supporting him. So I don’t think he is an orphan in the north. It would be a dangerous calculation for somebody to think Tinubu has no support in the northern part of the country,” Jibrin said on Wednesday.
The federal lawmaker also dismissed suggestions that the North has been politically “short-changed,” pointing out that the region had held power for longer than the South.
He urged the North to “tell itself the truth” and stop undermining its own representatives.
