Niger State Governor Umar Bago has made a shocking political announcement, declaring himself as the self-appointed Campaign Director-General for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
The “farmer-governor” blasted northern politicians already clamouring for power just two years into Tinubu’s tenure.
“For crying out loud, this man has just spent two years in office, and you want it to come back to the north. How?”
Bago insisted Tinubu will complete eight years before power returns north in 2031, vowing, “Our headquarters will be in Minna. No going back.”
The governor also promised to mobilise the youths, saying, “These people you are talking about don’t control the youths. We control the youths, and the youths are with Asiwaju.”
