On Wednesday, August 7, Aisha Yesufu, a socio-political activist and commentator, downplayed claims that the North was plotting against President Bola Tinubu.
Yesufu said the Northerners carried Tinubu on their head with the Muslim-Muslim ticket during the 2023 election.
To this end, Yesufu wondered why the North would turn around to plot against Tinubu for being a Southern president.
Posting on X, the social commentator wrote: “The North carried Tinubu on their head with the Muslim-Muslim ticket and even Mallams from the North said some of us are not Muslims for not supporting Tinubu.

“One even said it is Islam that would have fallen not Tinubu if Tinubu doesn’t win.
“That is the same North you are saying is plotting against Tinubu because he is a Southern President. I laugh in Etsako.

Following the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest, the North was accused of seeking a change of government.
Some protesters had called for a military takeover. However, the Nigerian Military has distanced itself from calls to return to power.
