In an interview with Sunday Sun, Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kanuna Central, discussed various topics related to the general elections of 2027. The ex-lawmaker claims that Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kanuna State, and Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, would be a good political fit for the 2027 presidential campaign.
As a result, the Naija News arrived. According to Shehu Sani, he is unsure if the two leaders will collaborate, but he is sure that forces will be realigned. According to what the Naija News said. After that, he mentioned that they will collaborate with an unnamed region of the country. According to what the Naija News said.
"Well, I don't know whether they are working together or not, but I do know that there will be a lot of realignment of forces. The ace, the card that the North will play is that of bringing all northerners together. Then, they will find an alliance with a section of the country other than the Southwest. Then, they will see how that can garner votes to remove Tinubu from power.
Because in the North's equation, out of the eight million votes that Tinubu has received, five million come from Northern Nigeria." It was his statement. "So, they want to see how they can pull off these votes from him and there are a lot of issues which they are going to put forward in the build-up to the 2027 campaign," the former senator continued.
“And they are going to use so many issues like the shifting of the CBN offices to Lagos, like the issues of appointments of many people from the South-western part of Nigeria, like the issue of insecurity which has not been solved in Northern Nigeria—these are all fundamental issues which they are going to take very seriously," the senator told Sunday Sun in an interview.
