Muhammed Mustapha Belgore, an Abuja-based legal practitioner and writer, believes the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu is all but guaranteed if the north is in his corner. In this interview, he assesses the chances of the African Democratic Congress coalition in the 2027 general election and the possibility of Goodluck Jonathan joining the fray, among other issues.
We have to tighten our belts. Our forebears have disappointed us. They preferred to teach us to kneel down to greet our elders rather than secure the institutions that would make our lives easier. Healthcare, electricity, pipe-borne water, education, what have you, nothing. They just pocketed the billions. We can’t let our own children look at us in that manner. No.
We had the PDP in the political saddle for so long, and we have also had the APC in the saddle for quite a while now. Which can you say has done well or better? In time past, when Nigerian politics seemed to have been about serving the masses, politicians defected from parties based on ideologies and desire to better the lot of the electorate. But today’s defections seem to be pocket-motivated. What do you think?
Months before the 2015 general election in which General Buhari locked horns with former president Goodluck Jonathan, one already knew the position of the north. From your perception, what is the permutation of the north about 2027?From my perception as a youth, the north’s permutation for 2027 is not mainly about reclaiming power in 2027. Yes, there’s growing unity in the north against Tinubu’s administration, feeling marginalised and all that. But Tinubu will fix this grievance before 2027.
