Oyewumi Urges Tinubu to Choose Hausa-Fulani Deputy and Zone Senate President to South-East

Yoruba leader Dr. Oyedele Oyewumi has called on President Tinubu to adopt a more inclusive political lineup ahead of the 2027 elections. He recommends a Hausa-Fulani running mate and a Senate President from the South-East. Oyewumi argues this arrangement will reinforce national unity, strengthen the federal character, and foster a sense of belonging among Nigeria’s major ethnic groups. He aligns his stance with former President Obasanjo’s warning against conditions that could lead to another civil war. He praises Tinubu’s reforms and urges him to forgive past political differences. Oyewumi says leadership requires magnanimity and reconciliation at critical moments. He believes deliberate steps toward balanced representation will reduce ethnic tensions, boost confidence in democratic institutions, and cement Tinubu’s legacy as a unifying leader.
