Northerners will reject TINUBU with his handouts - BABA-AHMED

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 - The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has warned President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the North will resist their vote-buying plot in the 2027 general elections.

Baba-Ahmed issued the warning on Tuesday while fielding questions in an interview on 'Politics Today', a programme on Channels Television.

He said supporters of President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, are underestimating Northern voters ahead of the 2027 polls.

He wondered what campaign leaders asking for Tinubu's re-election will tell people in Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, Kwara, Kaduna, Plateau, Kogi and Nasarawa States.

According to him, Northerners will not forget the humiliation and neglect they have suffered under Tinubu's administration.

"We know they will share money that has never been seen distributed in politics. Their problem is undermining the northerners. We will show them that we too are citizens whose voices and dignity matter," he said.

Baba-Ahmed warned that nobody should attempt to manipulate or overturn the outcome of the election if the North rejects Tinubu and the APC in 2027.

He challenged those carrying Tinubu's banner to come for an open contest.
