Northern APC Group Attacks Yoruba Leader Over Tinubu Presidential Ambition by TGNEWS(m): 5:46am On Feb 11, 2023

....says North will not failed in keeping their promise by voting APC massively


A convener and a leader of a pro All Progressives Congress (APC) group known as Arewa New Agenda (ANA), Senator Ahmad Abubakar MoAllahyidi in a Press conference said Northern people are covenant keepers.

Ahmad in an efforts to replied Chief Ayo Adebanjo (aka Pa Ayo ) a factional leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-cultural group who in Abeokuta said that the northern extraction will not vote for the Presidential candidate of the APC, Chief Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming 2023 Presidential election.

He said Pa Ayo does not speak for the north, dispelled his position by saying that North will massively vote for Tinubu in the coming presidential polls slated February 25th by INEC.

"We wish to state that our organization respects elderly persons but, in this case, we disagree with the position taken by Pa Ayo more so as he does not speak for the north and has no such mandate; for his information the north has never failed to keep to its promise; when the north makes a covenant, the north keeps to it.

"The North is the strongest ally of APC in the contest for the 2023 primaries in the same manner that the South West was ally for the victory of the APC in the last two election cycles.

"Northern Governor of APC extraction led the charge for power shift from the north to the south; something the likes of Pa Ayo were unable to do simply because to make a covenant Pa Ayo, is not a northerner, and we cannot remember when we northerners appointed him to convey a message to any one; therefore, his assertion as widely reported is not only false but unfounded and can be better seen as the action of a meddlesome interloper or on a lighter scale the antics of a busy body." Ahmad said

According to him the group are totally dismayed, shocked, surprised and disbelieve a statement credited to elder in Abeokuta on Saturday Jan 4th 2023, making the rounds in social and conventional media circles in which he (Pa Ayo) was quoted to have said that, it's a typical of him.

Ahmad while reading a text to journalists in Abuja said ANA is a forum of concerned northerners comprising of academics, serving and former legislators,diplomats, technocrats, development practitioners, women and youth leaders, politicians, artisans, traders and farmers that is positioned to set an agenda for protection of the interest of the North.

By this Ahmad told Ayo that Northerners are leaders of thoughts that their yes is yes and the integrity of ANA as respected individuals cannot be bought over.

He went down memory lane and reminded Ayo and Nigerians that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo became the flag bearer of the PDP and won the 1999 and 2003 presidential elections mainly because of the backing he received from the North.

"In the APC Presidential primaries of 2022, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu scored 1,271votes more than half of the total votes cast in the convention to win the primaries, majority of these votes come from the north; the same north that Pa Ayo said will not support Tinubu

"Given what is unfolding in the South West today Pa Ayo’s attempt to justify his position by saying that his submission is based on fairness justice and equity is indeed laughable because it was said that whoever is coming to equity must come with clean hands. Records have shown that every presidential candidate that Pa Ayo opposes ended up winning the election- Asiwajus’s case will not be different
Just because Pa Ayo has some differences with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not in any way mean that the Yoruba race think the same, as we have our doubts that he has the mandate to speak for the Yorubas.

"We warn that this is the time for high wire political activities that usually culminate into tension and suspicion; we call for restrain in all utterances. From our research Pa Ayo’s statement was not driven by any nationalist instinct or principle; it is just a personal vendetta against the personality of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"We advise Pa Ayo to stop taking advantage of African culture of respect for the old to pursue a very myopic, narrow minded and selfish political vendetta, this a pure act of mischief and malice.

"Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has visited many States in the North, made policy statements and made a committal promises to us, if GOD Almighty gives him the opportunity to serve as our next
president, we the northerners will hold him accountable to that.

"Based on the past excellent record of performance and antecedents of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his various callings, the north is comfortable with him. He supported northern presidential candidates in the past; the north has reciprocated this gesture on every occasion; the present situation is no different as the north will repeat the performance by overwhelming support to the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election."

Covenant keeping north indeed grin grin grin, but the polls in the NE and NW are showing us otherwise...

He's talking about Obasanjo, which Obasanjo did you support ?, you supported Obasanjo because you didn't have an option in 1999, moreover Obasanjo wasn't the choice of Yorubas, but Olu Falae.. Imidiately Buhari came on board in 2003, you people switched back to your bigotry, and voted massively for Buhari, to the extent Buhari kept winning core north since 2003 till his last term election that held in 2019..

Obasanjo knew that you people are not reliable, hence he never had any strong ally from there... Obasanjo focused on the MB and entire southerners... The aforementioned regions made Obasanjo to go for second term and even Jonathan as well..


Tinubu thought the road would be free for him in 2023, he never saw this arrangement coming. Northerners will betray you as they betrayed two of your kinsmen before you that relied on them, and there is nothing you can do

This man should come out open and tell us he needs to cash out more from Lagos purse

I hope this people will not betrayed Yoruba this time around as they did in the past.

To be sincere Yoruba has tried enough to unite this nation, if not Yoruba this country must have been separated if they follow the same part with the Igbo.

If eventually, they betrayed Tinubu, then theirs fire on the mountain.


God let your will be done.

The North is not known to reneged on their promise or playback.
We always pay our debt that's why we'll vote Tinubu enmass as he has backed Northern presidential candidates in the past from Ribadu to Atiku then to Buhari.

If Asiwaju can hold the SW on lockdown for even 60% the North will make up the remaining numbers.

Obi will cancel out Atiku support base in SE and part of SS & NC.
Forget the media hogwash, Atiku can't match Tinubu in the NW. State like kebbi Tinubu can even win easily but the APC gubernatorial candidate might finds it difficult to win.

Tinubu is not Yoruba...stop deceiving yourself.Tinubu is representing himself and wants a reward for bringing Buhari.

Sowore, Kola Abiola and Adebayo are the race too.

When did Tinubu become the face of omoluabis?
