“Nigerians Should Allow Tinubu to Govern Till 2031”- Babangida Aliyu [NEWS]

• Speaking on Arise TV, Aliyu, who chairs the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, stressed the need to respect the North-South rotational presidency and warned that any northern bid in 2027 could spark tension.

Former Niger State Governor, Muazu Babangida Aliyu, says President Bola Tinubu deserves a fair chance to complete two terms, just as Nigerians endured ex-President Muhammadu Buhari for eight years.

Speaking on Arise TV, Aliyu, who chairs the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, stressed the need to respect the North-South rotational presidency and warned that any northern bid in 2027 could spark tension.

“I have heard many of the aspirants already saying they will serve one term,” he said. “If a northerner says he’s serving one term, what problem is he creating for the North?”

Aliyu noted that if Nigerians endured Buhari for eight years, they should also allow Tinubu to complete his term and potentially a second.

“If we could tolerate the late Muhammadu Buhari for eight years, let’s try this one. Maybe by 2031, we can review the arrangement,” he said.

He said opposition parties like the ADC must offer credible alternatives to win public support.

“My argument has always been, what is the alternative? If you want to remove a president, what are you offering the people in return?”

Aliyu also warned that growing defections within political parties could escalate. “For now, only governors and lawmakers are defecting. By 2031, you may end up with a presidential defection. Is that not a constitutional issue?”
