He added, “We are laying solid foundations today, and it is only right that the President is allowed to finish what he started.”
National Chairman of the Forum, Nnanna Igbokwe, lauded the Northern Caucus for what he termed a “bold and patriotic stand.”
“This resolution by the Northern Caucus is a significant statement of statesmanship. It shows leadership that transcends personal or regional interest. I am confident that more zones will follow this example in the spirit of unity and continuity,” Igbokwe remarked.
Following deliberations, the Northern Caucus issued a communiqué endorsing the Southern Presidency and Tinubu’s second-term aspiration.
The document was co-signed by Rufai Chanchangi, [quote]Coordinator of the Northern Caucus, and Atiwurcha, Secretary of the Caucus.
“As partners in nation building, we subscribe to issues that unite us as a people for the peace and progress of our nation, Nigeria. We align to the unifying foundation of our country which relates to the rotation of power between the North and South. We advocate that the south be allowed to complete their tenure.
“The forum is of the belief that it will be in the best interest of the north for the incumbent to complete the tenure of the south,” the communiqué declared.
