A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has urged the northern elites to allow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to complete his eight years (two-term) in office for the unity and stability of Nigeria.

Ahead of the 2027 elections, Omokri reminded the north, whom he described as Mutanen Arewa, of how they ganged up and denied the then-President Goodluck Jonathan a second term in 2015, which affected the foundation of Nigeria's unity.

In a post shared on his X page on Friday, August 1, Omokri urged the north not to be deceived by "a few politicians' personal ambitions."

Omokri tweeted:

"In The Interest of Nigeria's Unity and Stability, Arewa Should Allow President Tinubu Complete His Two Four Year Terms

"Mutanen Arewa, know how much I love you. God used you to make my late father and I. Today, as a friend of Arewa, I urge you to note that Nigeria is a fragile nation. Therefore, think twice before you sacrifice this country's unity for a few politicians' personal ambitions.

"Ganging up and denying President Goodluck Jonathan a second term rocked the foundations of our unity in 2015, and we barely survived it. It led to a resurgence of militancy and oil theft in the Niger Delta, which cut our oil production by 50%.

"That led to two recessions under General Buhari, and Nigeria became the world headquarters for extreme poverty in 2018 and the global capital for out-of-school children in 2016."

Second term bid: Omokri lists Tinubu's achievement

Speaking further, Reno Omokri highlighted Tinubu's major achievement in two years and noted that with the recent growth in the economy, student loan initiative, the current administration should be given support in 2027.

Convincing the north, Omokri wrote:

"We are gradually seeing a turnaround in our country. President Tinubu has reduced our debt from $113.7 billion, which he inherited, to $97 billion today. Federal allocation to the states has doubled from what they were under Buhari.

"The Student Loan initiative has reduced the out-of-school children phenomenon.

"In security, Northern Nigeria is safer than it was two years ago, even as massive infrastructural projects are ongoing in Arewa."
