unwavering support for the party that brought him to power. According to Sani, this endorsement of continuity remains meaningful to many northern voters who respected and followed Buhari.
Sani argued that Buhari’s core supporters particularly those in rural, less educated communities will remain loyal even after his death, not merely because he held office, but due to their deep-seated trust in his personal integrity. That kind of emotional attachment, he emphasised, does not vanish overnight.
He pointed to the massive reception Buhari received upon his return to Daura at the end of his tenure, as well as the unprecedented turnout at his burial, as clear political indicators of the enduring reverence he commands in the region. These are not just ceremonial events, he noted, but reflections of political sentiment and sustained loyalty.
Sani further observed that the current zoning climate also favours President Tinubu, who, constitutionally, is eligible for only one more term. He remarked that many northerners already anticipate that power will shift back to the region in 2031, making Tinubu a strategic choice for those looking beyond the next election cycle.
