He emphasised that there is an unwritten agreement between the North and South regarding power-sharing.
He said, “I’m now the self-imposed Director General of the Tinubu campaign for 2027, and Niger State is the campaign headquarters for Asiwaju 2027.
“We are Nigerians and we love Nigeria. There is an unwritten understanding in Nigeria for power to rotate between the North and the South. This has brought peace to this country.
“We completed the tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari, and Asiwaju is just in his second year.”
