Youths under the aegis of Progressive Northern Youth Forum (PNYF) have assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of enjoying massive support from the region in 2027.
This is contrary to claims of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) earlier in the month, when they expressed regret at voting for Tinubu in the 2023 election.
“The North made a mistake in voting Bola Tinubu to the presidency in 2023, and it is unlikely that they will repeat the same error in the future.”
“They have learned from their past misstep and will strive to select a candidate who can unite the country and govern in the best interests of all Nigerians,” the NEF spokesman said.
Isah Usman Jabbi, National President of the group, stated this on Tuesday when the youths drawn from the 19 Northern states converged in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for a two-day conference to deliberate on the state of the nation.
Jabbi said, “PNYF members reviewed the utterances of such leaders and concluded that at no time were they mandated to speak for the 19 Northern States, which makes their assertions null and void within the context of contemporary Nigeria.
“The northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if he seeks reelection in 2027, and the north will vote massively for him. “
