Sokoto South Senator Aminu Tambuwal clarified on December 13, 2025, that he does not support any northern coalition claiming President Bola Tinubu must exit office ahead of the 2027 elections. He emphasized his stance stems from national dissatisfaction with the administration's handling of economic woes and insecurity, not regional agendas.
Tambuwal, a former Sokoto governor and PDP stalwart, reiterated earlier vows to rally opposition forces nationwide for Tinubu's defeat, framing it as a "national consensus" rather than northern isolationism. Reports of northern groups uniting against Tinubu have circulated, but Tambuwal rejected involvement, urging unity across divides to address widespread hardships like inflation and hunger.
His comments align with prior speeches, including a September return to Sokoto where he accused the APC of destabilizing rivals and promised collaborative efforts with allies like Atiku Abubakar to reclaim power. Political observers view this as strategic positioning amid rising anti-Tinubu sentiment, though Tambuwal stressed voluntary EFCC engagements prove his integrity against probes. The senator's outreach aims to broaden appeal beyond the north for 2027 polls.
