The National Publicity Secretary, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Prof. Tukur Mohammed-Baba, has declared that President Bola Tinubu has lost significant political standing in the North since 2023, warning that neither former Vice President Atiku Abubakar nor Nigeria Democratic Congress candidate, Peter Obi, offers the region any credible alternative ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Mohammed-Baba made the declaration Monday on PrimeTime Arise Television interview in which he described the entire Nigerian political class, without exception, as bereft of ideas, driven by personal ambition, and incapable of addressing the twin crises of insecurity and economic meltdown ravaging the country.

He said: “I have not seen a party that articulates a clear policy ambition or an ideological standard. The average northern voter is disillusioned and has been for a long time.
