The Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has undertaken a critical appraisal of the 2027 presidential election, concluding that the North has the population to decide who wins the election.

The assertion was made by the BOT Chairman, Alhaji Bashir M. Dalhatu, who said pressure was already mounting on the Forum from elders in the region to closely monitor the projects and programmes of politicians that have a positive impact on Northerners ahead of the 2027 elections.

However, the BOT expressed concern over insecurity in the North, saying that the security challenges were worsening by the day, and called on the federal government to act swiftly before it becomes too late.

The BOT Chairman also criticised the displacement of indigenous people of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), whose ancestral homes were taken without compensation for the establishment of the nation’s capital city.

“It is clear that Northern Nigeria is today bedevilled by numerous existential problems, some of which I have tried to highlight above. What is not in doubt is the fact that the North has in abundance what it takes to compete and prevail in any fair competition within the federation of Nigeria and even within the larger African continent.

“The North has 19 out of the 36 states. We also have the FCT as a varitable component. We have a majority in the Senate, the House of Representatives, the National Economic Council as well as the Council of States.

“The North occupies close to 75% of Nigeria’s land area and about 60% of the population. An area that is this big and this strong can never be subdued by any opponent provided we remain united and place our region above all other considerations. No questions about it, united we stand, divided we fall.

“The view has been expressed and it bears repeating here, that current preoccupation with the 2027 national elections is premature and a disservice to the principle of the 4-year-term-limit given to elected officials.

“For the moment, it will suffice to say that Northern Nigeria is watching and auditing the actions of the elected and appointed officials, especially at the federal level.

“As a matter of fact, we have received a number of proposals from some of our elders that this body appoints a special committee that will conduct a detailed study and a review of the policies, projects and programs embarked upon by the current government and determine how they have impacted the various parts of the country, particularly Northern Nigeria.

“This is perhaps the best way to determine whether or not our interests are being sufficiently accommodated. For the avoidance of doubt, we must reiterate our faith in the principle that says all politics is local.

In other words, Northern Nigeria will remain faithful not to particular politicians or political parties but to those who care about our regional interests and are willing to promote and protect them.”

The BOT also spoke on alleged land grabbing in the North by southerners without allowing the same to happen to Northerners living in the southern part of the country.

Is it the North that is behind Tinubu or another North?

Make I hear word

Tinubu till 2031

By 2027 , the north will become a political minority depending on who becomes the inec chairman

Why is it that it is a certain desperate minority group from that region that always want to use the head of other regionals to manipulate themselves into perpetual power...?

That statement of "The North" is a political statement to manipulate others into subjection..
Not for the love of the North but for love of power..

I will begin to take "The North" serious the day our Fulani brethren will a Berom man/Idoma man etc for 2031 Presidency.
But for now in their mind Power should rotate between the
South and the Fulanis

Abeg, make dey go warm eba chop.

No region can become president without the votes of the other regions. Buhari couldn't crack it for years until the merger with ACN, ANPP,APGA etc in 2015

Dear ACF, the south will also decide the winner of 2027 election.

It’s sad how the entire focus is now on the 2027 presidential election, which is still about two years away. Well, I’m not surprised — the man said he would continue from where his predecessor stopped.

Instead of focusing on how to move the country forward this crooks in power are more focused on wining (rigging) the 2027 presidential election. INEC is already doing their thing now, you were hear another story come 2027.

Any right-thinking person knows Tinubu does not mean well for Nigeria. He never did. For him, it’s all about holding the title of “President” and taking his share of the national cake.

This situation could have been prevented in 2023, but now it’s too late. We still have six more years to endure — so brace yourselves, well-meaning Nigerians.

They are just hallucinating.

Dey play

using cattle as voters.

For your mind

Lol

Daydreams. As much as i have no love for PBAT, man is a strategist; dirty strategist mind you.

But the north should know they’ve met their match in him.

Part of me wishes he’s doing particularly well all round, and I’d had gladly voted for him. He’s almost single handedly dismantling the “mysterious” north’s politics and i ire that about him.

Like i said before, as a dirty politician he doesn’t mind getting into the dirt to play the dirty game the north has always played.

#MyOpinion

Northerners and their arrogant stupidity

They will force the South to Tinubu even though he's been a failure

….and the North has chosen POO, according to a reliable source who prefers not to be named

Tinubu till 3035

I blamed the greedy west! Honestly,greedy individual from the southwest,majorly from the southeast cause these nonsense! The only neutral people have been the south south people! I can’t seem to rationalise how the northerners managed to own over 80% of the oil well in the west!

The north will decide nothing! Every contestant needs the votes from both Southern and Northern Nigeria to win the election

Yes

Northern States of Kogi , Kwara, Kano, Kaduna, Niger, Benue, FCT, Jigawa , Sokoto , Borno, Zamfara and many more where President Bola Tinubu will win with Landslides with all the States in the South South and South West

saintopus:
Is it the North that is behind Tinubu or another North?

Make I hear word

Tinubu go still win hands down

During elections, it's North. After elections, it's Fulani.


How the indigenous people in Northern Nigeria allowed themselves to be subdued to this level eh

muyico:
Tinubu till 2031

Tinubu till 2031

Smiles

GOD WILL DECIDE THE WINNER

Haha bunch of fooIs

kettykin:
By 2027 , the north will become a political minority depending on who becomes the inec chairman

e be like say dem forget
Tinubu has valid reason to even put someone from the south
since 2010 till now, it has been Attahiru Jega, Mahmood Yakubu

2010 to 2025, that is 15years the North has held INEC
Tinubu should move it to the South (responsible South West or responsible South South Only)

Tinubu is OTP, how it will happen, I don't know. All these noise will die naturally.

michlins:
During elections, it's North. After elections, it's Fulani.

They are not subdued. It is the southerners that are fooIs to believe the lie

SmartPolician:

Cattle are not eligible to vote

So south will not determine who becomes the president of the country. These people should stop this rubbish as only the north can not determine will becomes the president. Anyway, Tinubu willl wiin in a very easy way come 2027 and nothing will happen
