Don’t distract Tinubu, group warns detractors

A group, The National Political Study Group, has warned detractors not to distract President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by bringing to the front burner any nomination politics ahead of 2027.

The group, in a statement by its leader, Emmanuel Aro, dismissed insinuations that the President is under pressure over the choice of running mate for the next general election.

Also, a presidency source said the president is focussed on his mandate and addressing what he described as a wrong perception that Christians are being singled out for attacks across the country.

The source said efforts to correct this narrative are beginning to yield positive results.

Aro, who spoke in Lagos, said although legitimate scheming by politicians have started, the president is not somebody who can be intimidated, manipulated and pushed around by those nursing ambition for relevance.

Also, the Presidency source, who reacted to a report in one of the national dailies which claimed that the President was under pressure to field a Christian running mate in 2027, rather than retain the Muslim-Muslim ticket with Vice President Kashim Shettima, said people are only peddling rumours.

He said: “Look, we are aware that some persons want the VP replaced. Initially, they wanted a fellow Muslim to replace him. But now that they have seen that the arrangement is not flying, they want to latch on the US sentiment to push their new agenda of having a Christian running mate. But I can tell you for free that it will not work.

“Any APC person plotting that does not mean well for Mr. President and our party.  Tampering with the ticket as it is will do us more harm than good in the North, especially if ADC eventually sticks by its original plan to field a northern candidate. If it is about winning strategy, we are better the way we are because replacing Shettima with a Christian may affect our chance in the entire Northeast and votes from some critical states in the North.”

He added: “The US angle to the story is all hoax. The US posturing is changing already. Besides, are we no longer believers? If we run with a Christian candidate and God does not want us, if the US like, let them put everything they have into it, it will still not work. So, we should stop playing God.

“Our President is smart and strategic.  He has not told us he wants to replace Shettima. We are aware, like you said that some of the presidential aides, in some of their conversations appear to be buying into the idea of having a Christian run with Tinubu. But the truth is those doing that are majorly Christians. Therefore, I can understand their sentiments. However, on Shettima’s birthday, when Mr. President released what looked like a ‘shut your mouth’ statement.”
