Northern Youth Frontiers Advocates 2031 Power Rotation

The Northern Youth Frontiers (NYF), a coalition of northern groups, has expressed support for the rotation of presidential power between the North and South, advocating that the next northern presidential turn should occur in 2031. In a statement signed by national chairman Sama Musa, the coalition urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to complete two terms in office to promote national unity and political stability.

They cautioned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar against actions perceived as undermining the rotational presidency for personal political ambition. Musa emphasized that the North is not in a rush to disrupt the existing power-sharing arrangement, asserting that power rotation is meant for regions, not individuals.

The coalition has begun consultations with political leaders across the North to develop a coordinated political position for the 2031 elections, insisting that Atiku does not represent the entirety of the North and that the region has the capacity to produce future leaders when appropriate.
