Tinubu's alleged capital relocation plan sparks regional division claims
Former APC deputy publicity secretary Timi Frank alleges President Tinubu plans to relocate Nigeria's capital from Abuja to Lagos if re-elected in 2027. Frank claims this 'Lagos-centric agenda' sidelines other regions, with federal appointments and development initiatives favoring Lagos State. He warns this strategy undermines national unity by concentrating political and economic power in Lagos, potentially impoverishing the North, South, and Southeast ahead of the 2027 election. Frank questions the absence of regional development initiatives in Tinubu's administration, stating no Nigerian president has divided the country along regional lines like this administration. The claim comes as Frank slams Tinubu's government for what he describes as a deliberate strategy to weaken certain regions.
