Forget north’s votes in 2027 if you move CBN, FAAN departments to Lagos – Katsina elders warn Tinubu

The Katsina Elders’ Forum has threatened that President Bola Tinubu will be risking his chances in the 2027 general elections if he dares to relocate critical national infrastructure to Lagos State.

The forum also warned Tinubu against relocating certain departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) from Abuja to Lagos or any part of the Southern region of the country.

The forum also accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of deploying all tactics to infiltrate Abuja with kidnappers to fine-tune the federal government’s plan of relocating such projects.

The Secretary of the forum, Aliyu Mohammed, on Wednesday evening while briefing journalists on the forum’s resolutions after a closed-door meeting, said the relocation move was a premeditated attempt to cripple the socio-economic activities of Northern Nigeria.

Mohammed said the contractor of the refurbished airport rescue and firefighting vehicles project of the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport wrote to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo, demanding its relocation for flimsy reasons.

According to him, President Tinubu was being ill-advised by those he termed enemies of Nigeria who did not want the unity of the country to relocate the Katsina airport project, CBN departments and FAAN to the Southern part of the country.

Mohammed was quoted as saying, “Therefore, we are warning Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as long as he is interested in coming back in 2027, as long as he is interested in the votes of the Northerners, to reverse these unconstitutional decisions. Whoever is advising him to take such decisions is an enemy of the country.

“Such a person is not interested in the Nigerian project. And the North is not afraid of telling Tinubu to his face that we are not ready to re-elect him in 2027 once he starts moving all these critical departments to Lagos.”

Mohammed also alleged that “The FCT Minister is inviting the Israelis to come and provide security to Abuja. We have never known anything like kidnapping in Abuja until Wike came into Abuja as a minister.”

He therefore charged President Tinubu to focus on tackling the myriad of security challenges besetting the North rather than relocating economic-boosting projects from the region to other parts of the country.

He said that “Despite the insecurity situation in the North, Tinubu is not making any effort to curb the insecurity and is moving all these departments.”
