🏛 Northern clerics tell Tinubu to drop 2027 re-election bid Over 1,000 Islamic clerics meeting in Kano have called on President Bola Tinubu to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, citing economic hardship, insecurity and brain drain as grounds for their demand. The call was issued in a communique at a national conference titled "An Assessment of the State of the Nation under President Tinubu." The clerics specifically referenced killings, kidnappings and terrorism — particularly in the North-West — as well as deteriorating living conditions for ordinary Nigerians. The communique urged Tinubu to either fundamentally review his administration's economic policies or step aside from the 2027 contest entirely. Source
