The Arewa Think Thank group has submitted that the North must be sincere with itself and recognize that it can’t stop the second term bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The group said the North had just concluded eight years in power before Tinubu came in and should not think of returning to power yet.
The Convener of Arewa Think Tank, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu made the assertion while answering questions from journalists shortly after a prayer session for President Tinubu at Arewa House, Kaduna.
He said Northerners must put sentiments aside and tell themselves the truth.
He regretted that a Northerner was at the affairs of the nation for eight years without impacting positively on the region.
In his view, in the interest of peace, the North can not lay claim to the presidency in 2027.
