Either for the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress or the opposition coalition, African Democratic Congress, the 2027 general election is neither a done deal nor a walkover. Olawale Olaleye writes.
Zainab, daughter of AlhajiBubaGaladima, a prominent northern voice, was recently on Mic On, a podcast anchored by SeunOkinbaloye of Channels TV. As part of her submission, she warned: “A storm is coming.” The reference was to the likely response from the north in 2027 and what she had foreseen as a “daughter of the soil”.
Candid, smart, intelligent, progressive, visionary, and unequivocal, Zainab knew exactly what she had hinted at. But the title above is just an adoption of her concern of the current state of play in the north nay the 2027 general election. This intervention has nothing to do with her submission or the interview with Okinbaloye.
