[OPINION BY ILIYASU GADU] North/south-west rapprochement: The new political reality (1) | TheCable
Out of the 8.7 million votes that the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, scored in the elections, 5.3 million came from the entire northern region comprising north-west, north-east, and north-central geopolitical areas.
Reflecting on this aspect of the 2023 elections, political observers have described the development as the consolidation of the northern and south-west political romance which has been slowly evolving for decades.
Although this budding political movement predictably came under hostile attention from the older political figures and groups in both the north and south-west, its structure was such that it was able to weather the storms even during the military regimes of General Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha who continued the antagonism against the group.
