Hajiya Naja’atu Mohammed, a former director in President Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Council and erstwhile member of the Police Service Commission, claimed Tinubu has sidelined the North and runs a government centred on the South West.

Speaking on The PAP Show, anchored by Hadiza Malumfashi in Abuja, Hajiya Naja’atu, who now chairs the Northern Star Foundation, a non-governmental organisation focused on empowering Northern youth, said she only accepted the campaign role after repeated pleas and not out of political conviction.

“I never ed him. “I ed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo during the primaries. But when Tinubu won the APC ticket, I was asked to serve as a director in charge of NGOs, which I found contradictory because NGOs should be apolitical,” she stated.

Naja’atu recounted a meeting with Tinubu in London where she questioned him about his plans for the North.

“He told me he had no plans for the North. When I asked what he had for the country, he said his only plan was the APC manifesto. He said a personal blueprint would offend too many interests,” she said.

According to her, when she presented a blueprint for the North through the Network for National Salvation, it was dismissed.

“One of his aides, Masari, said all the North needed was state police. That we didn’t need electricity, infrastructure, or to tackle out-of-school children and insecurity,” she said.

Accusing the president of sidelining not just the North but also the South East, Naja’atu said Tinubu’s appointments and policies show favouritism towards the Yoruba ethnic group.

“He’s a regional president. Everything revolves around the South West. Billions are being pumped into Lagos, even federal agencies and functions are being moved there,” she claimed. “He has turned himself into a Yoruba king, and that’s dangerous for national unity.”

Naja’atu alleged that Tinubu’s governance style mirrors his political control of Lagos since 1999, arguing that he has retained influence in the state long after leaving office as governor.

“No other former leader has had such a grip on power. Not even Obasanjo or any military ruler,” she said.

She further claimed that Tinubu’s tenure has deepened economic hardships, citing increased production costs, naira devaluation, and rising insecurity across the country.

“What Nigeria needs is a unifier, a leader whose constituency is the entire country. But what we have now is a president who has balkanized Nigeria along regional lines,” she said.

She also questioned the federal government’s silence on Sunday Igboho’s secessionist activities compared to the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu.

“If Igboho could walk free while Kanu is kept in detention, what message does that send?” she asked.

Naja’atu warned that the country’s foundation was being eroded under Tinubu’s watch, urging citizens to demand more inclusive and visionary leadership.

“Governance should be about the welfare and security of all Nigerians, not a few. Sadly, that’s not what we’re seeing today,” she said.

Na that NW APC endorsement dey make them jittery

Whipping Nnamdi Kanu sentiment to get Igbo for ATIKU,when did FULANIS become Nnamdi Kanu Advocates?...If them born you well start campaigning for OBI to be president

But it was a northerner that said...

“One of his aides, Masari, said all the North needed was state police. That we didn’t need electricity, infrastructure, or to tackle out-of-school children and insecurity,” she said.

Why is she trying to co-opt the South East into her political battles.

Even though there's truth in what she's said, it is coming from a pained politician who lost out in a battle for the control of state power.

Was she dead when Buhari took everything up North

Wait,APC bots are on their way to run down this beautiful thread. One is up already

Tinubu's hurried Lagos-Calabar coastal highway is a testimony of Tinubu's ethnocentric government. All he wants is connect the oil and gas rich southsouth region to Lagos.

The truth is the current Federal Government has no road map or specific action plans to tackle critical problems of Nigeria. Policies are all rolled out on knee-jerk basis without even a simple SWOT Analysis.

However and unfortunately, none of Atiku, Peter Obi, Nasir El Rufai, etc has developed any road map at the moment. It is all about collaboration to grab power without collaborating to produce a LIVING DOCUMENT that lay a foundation a prosperous Nigeria.

It is not looking good at the moment.

The deed has been done.

I don't balaBluee but most times, im led to conclude the north is clueless on how to play opposition when they're not in power. They do this blabbing a lot day in day own and when they regain power, they do exactly the same thing. So why no find some better fodder to blab about intelligently? Why this stale recycled water? What are they currently doing to better lives and properties outside the religious umbrella?


They need to wake up even if balaBluee is hilarious

Really?

What about buhari kano-Maradi/Niger own?

At least Lagos and Calabar are within Nigeria

True talk. Tinubu is a colossal failure

At least, she’s no longer claiming that he can’t hold a cup of tea. That’s a good sign that we are making progress.

This is so obvious, is mostly a particular set of ppl that looks like there r being paid that hails him without considering the future of their unborn kids
Over here on nairaland, it looks like Most APc bots dwell here wella
