Arewa Youth President Says Northern States Will Not Support Peter Obi in 2027

Arewa Youth President Says Northern States Will Not Support Peter Obi in 2027

The president of an Arewa youth group has said Peter Obi should not expect electoral support from Northern Nigeria in the 2027 presidential election. Speaking in an interview with a television outlet, he claimed that no northern state would vote for Obi. He also said Obi had not consulted the group or reached any agreement with it before indicating interest in the race. The youth leader said the North would support a candidate who backed Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and represented northern interests. He added that coordinators who openly support Obi against the group’s position could be replaced.

It is a sweeping claim, especially when one youth group leader is speaking for an entire region.

What basis shows this statement reflects the views of all Northern states rather than one group?

Political predictions this far ahead can sound confident, but voters and alliances may shift before 2027.

Rather than trading declarations, parties should address concerns state by state and let voters decide at the polls.
