Marginalization Complaints From The North Is An Attempt To Undermine Tinubu – Bayo Onanuga

Bola Tinubu

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has said that his principal deserves a re-election like the late Muhammadu Buhari.

He recently urged Northern politicians to wait for their turn just as the South waited during the tenure of the late president.

Speaking during an interview with Trust Radio, Bayo described the complaints from the Arewa Consultative Forum about marginalisation as an obvious attempt to undermine the Southern presidency.

According to him, the criticisms against President Tinubu are clearly a deliberate attempt to rubbish his government because he is from the South.

“This President is a Nigerian. He deserves the same two terms that Buhari had. Let’s not sacrifice the country for personal ambition,” he said.

Onanuga refuted reports saying that the Tinubu government is shortchanging the North in appointments and infrastructure, emphasising that development challenges are being faced all over the nation.

He concluded by saying that such allegations are politically motivated and rooted in selfish ambition.

“You need to get your statistics right. It’s all political mischief designed to undermine the President. There are bad roads across the country, not just in the North.

The National Security Adviser, Chief of Defence Staff, and the two Defence Ministers are all Northerners.

Places like Birnin Gwari and Igabi (in Kaduna) are now safer. I drove from Kaduna to Abuja without incident, a journey that was once unthinkable,” he added.
