Northern Politicians’ Visit to Buhari, Strategy To Remove Tinubu In 2027, Says Sani

A former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, Shehu Sani, on Tuesday, said the recent visits by some northern politicians to former President Muhammadu Buhari were strategic to remove President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Recall that Buhari handed over power to Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, who garnered 8,794,726 votes to defeat Abubakar, who secured 6,984,520 votes, on May 29, 2023.

Sani said the prominent northerners want to revive the Buhari political charms and fanaticism and mobilize the gullible to a dead end.

Sani, who said the plot and strategies would fail, urged northerners to reject any bid to unseat the president come 2027.

He said: “The recent visits by some prominent Northern politicians to Daura appear to be the usual Eid homage, but looking deeper and beyond the facade, it’s surreptitiously a new attempt to build a strong northern alliance using ex-President Buhari as a rallying point to challenge and evict President Tinubu’s government in 2027. 

“It’s a regrouping of Northern political forces for the next general election, a project that will eventually kiss the dust.

“They want to resurrect Buhari’s political charm and fanaticism and mobilise the gullible to another hollow and bewildering end. They want to stock up and light up the Arewa sentiment without considering the inferno it would eventually generate.”
