Eko Hot Blog reports that in a statement released on Tuesday, Alawuje cautioned politicians allegedly engaging in ethnic and religious politics, warning that such divisive tactics are being closely monitored.

“Be warned. There is no political or ethnic scheme you can execute without the awareness of our agents. The North will not be deceived again,” he said.

Recalling Tinubu’s pivotal role in the 2015 elections, Alawuje praised the President for standing by the North during a critical political period, noting that his contributions helped unite the country behind former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“At that crucial moment, Tinubu traversed the region, convincing millions who once opposed Buhari to support him. The North has not forgotten that selfless act,” he stated.

He described the North as “a region of loyalty and honour,” adding that it would “reward Tinubu with its votes again in 2027.”

Alawuje accused Atiku Abubakar of pursuing a “Northern agenda” and Peter Obi of “hiding behind religious sentiments,” saying both were “playing hypocritical politics of the highest order.”

“No propaganda will turn the North against its trusted ally from the Southwest,” he declared.

Citing remarks by the Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Muhammad Sanusi II, that “Nigeria has pulled back from the brink of economic collapse,” Alawuje commended Tinubu’s administration for what he described as “bold and transformative reforms.”

“Tinubu is performing exceptionally well—transforming Nigeria’s economic and developmental landscape. Nigerians only need patience,” he said.

He further described the President as “a courageous and visionary leader” whose governance has silenced critics and restored investor confidence.

“Despite social media ‘economists’ sowing fear, Tinubu has proven them wrong. He is an economic reformer and a true champion of human development,” Alawuje concluded.

He urged Nigerians to unite behind Tinubu and resist divisive political narratives, saying, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made us proud. He has laid a solid foundation for Nigeria’s future.”
