As the 2027 presidential election approaches, the debate about second term bids is once again taking center stage in the country.
The chairman of the Tinubu Northern Forum, Auwal Ibrahim Sansani, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the right choice and candidate to continue.
Sansani, argues that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term bid is a call for continuity, stability, and progress.
He believes that Tinubu’s experience and institutional knowledge gained during his first term as president, as well as his previous roles as Lagos State Governor and “Father of the Party” (APC), make him better equipped to tackle the challenges ahead.
Sansani also addresses the Arewa Consultative Forum’s (ACF) stance on Tinubu’s second term bid, suggesting that there may be misconceptions between the ACF and the presidency.
While the ACF hasn’t entirely ruled out supporting Tinubu, there are indications that they might not back him in 2027, possibly due to concerns about his economic policies and their impact on the northern region.
The author emphasizes the importance of continuity and stability, which a second term can provide, allowing the country to avoid disruptions and uncertainties that often accompany a transition of power.
He also sees a presidential second term bid as a mandate for progress, enabling the president to implement their policies and programs, leading to advancements in areas like healthcare, education, and infrastructure development.
Ultimately, Sansani concludes that supporting Tinubu’s second term bid can be a call for continuity, stability, and progress, and encourages collective effort to ensure his re-election, allowing the country to benefit from his experience and mandate for progress.
