…Accuses Tinubu of short-changing region
A socio-political group, Arewa New Agenda, (ANA), has emerged with a focus on repositioning the northern region as a dominant force in Nigeria.
ANA declared its opposing stance on the rotational presidency yesterday in Yola, the Adamawa state capital,, alluding to President Bola Tinubu’s “it is my turn” comment before the 2023 election.
Addressing newsmen on the new move, the president of the group, Senator Ahmad Abubakar MoAllahyidi, alleged that Northern Nigeria was short-changed by the Tinubu administration, despite its numerical strength to determine the political direction and the leadership of the country.
According to him, President Tinubu had abandoned the North, which gave him the bulk of the ballots that brought him to power. He also lamented that despite its rich endowment with both human and natural resources, the region has been plagued with the multiple challenges of poverty, illiteracy and insecurity.
