Yakassai said the North has a moral obligation to reciprocate Tinubu’s past political support for late President Muhammadu Buhari.

He declared that northerners will support President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

As reported by Vanguard, Yakassai stated this in Akure, during the inauguration of the Ondo State chapter of the Tinubu Support Group.

“If Asiwaju supported Buhari in 2017 and repeated the same feat with success in 2023, it has become a moral imperative for all of us northerners to repeat the same courtesy and work towards the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is an honour for us to be morally conscious, morally right, and support his second-term bid.”

Yakassai added that northerners are ready to openly mobilise for Tinubu's re-election in 2027.

According to Yakassai, the dissenting northern voices are insignificant.

“If you hear a few voices claiming to oppose President Tinubu, they are mostly people fingered in corruption, fraud, or those who have not found space in government. They are mere grumblers with no tangible impact. Try to win them over, but if they refuse, leave them—they represent an infinitesimal fraction of the electorate.”
