A former APC spokesman warns northern and southern leaders not to fall for President Tinubu's political schemes to secure power in 2027. Timi Frank claims Tinubu uses ethnic politics to pressure southern opposition governors for support. He says the president threatens these governors with states of emergency if they refuse to back him. Frank believes the next election should focus on fixing Nigeria's problems rather than regional divisions.

Frank accuses Tinubu of forcing at least five PDP governors from southern states to join the APC along with their lawmakers. He argues Tinubu portrays the upcoming election as a battle between himself and northern interests, despite northern support helping him win in 2023. Frank says Nigeria needs leadership that unites rather than divides the country along ethnic lines. He wants northerners who back Tinubu to reconsider their position.

Frank claims northern areas suffer most under current policies despite helping Tinubu gain power. He points to what he sees as unfair appointment practices and infrastructure decisions favoring the president's interests. Frank warns northern leaders they face continued neglect if Tinubu wins again in 2027. He adds that opposition governors face blackmail and pressure to either join the APC or sign agreements promising to deliver their states to Tinubu or risk losing future elections.
