A rising political storm has erupted as the Arewa Coalition of Youths has strongly criticized presidential media aide, Bayo Onanuga, for dismissing early campaign support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 reelection. The group demands Onanuga’s immediate removal, accusing him of political insensitivity and undermining democratic engagement.
According to a statement issued by the group’s Director General, Abubakar Aliyu Galadiman Takai, Onanuga’s remarks reflect a backward political stance that fails to appreciate the growing grassroots enthusiasm for President Tinubu’s continued leadership.
“Rather than appreciating the unwavering commitment of Tinubu’s supporters nationwide,” Takai noted, “Mr. Onanuga chose to issue a demotivating statement that restricts democratic enthusiasm and mobilization.”
Calls for a Media Adviser With Political Foresight
The group emphasized that Onanuga’s strict interpretation of electoral regulations fails to distinguish between illegal political campaigning and genuine public expression of support. According to Takai, political visibility and engagement by citizens should be celebrated, not discouraged.
“The support for President Tinubu is natural, nationwide, and powerful. It cannot be shut down by bureaucratic interpretations of the law,” he declared.
He added that Nigeria needs a media adviser who aligns with the energy of the grassroots and can strategically leverage public support in favor of national progress.
“Onanuga should be replaced with someone more in tune with the political reality and the aspirations of the people,” Takai said.
Encouraging Supporters to Stay Focused
The statement concluded with a strong message to President Tinubu’s supporters, urging them not to be disheartened.
“Your passion is the fuel for the 2027 vision. Keep spreading the message, door to door, street to street, billboard to billboard. Our support for Tinubu remains unwavering,” he added.

Why This Matters for Nigeria’s Political Future
The 2027 general election may seem distant, but early signs of political alignment, grassroots mobilization, and media narratives will shape the national conversation. Political advisers like Onanuga must recognize and adapt to this reality. Suppressing early momentum could harm democratic participation and disconnect the presidency from its core supporters.
