Northern Elders Label Tinubu a ‘Betrayer’, Back Southeast Presidency for 2027

Prominent Northern elders have urged the entire North to support a Southeast presidency in 2027, accusing President Tinubu of betraying the region that helped deliver his victory. At a press briefing in Kaduna, they said Tinubu abandoned the federal character principle. Key appointments in finance, oil, customs and the military now favour his own ethnic group while the North is left with scraps. The elders called on governors, emirs and voters to unite behind justice for the South East. Analysts warn this move reveals cracks in the 2023 alliance and could reshape alliances ahead of the next election.
