He observed that while the North was able to dominate during the military era, the democratic system now requires the North to form alliances with other influential political blocs.

Nnanna also highlighted that no single region can unseat an incumbent president in an election unless specific circumstances in the political landscape favor such a move.
These circumstances might involve a significant shift in public opinion, major political upheavals, or widespread dissatisfaction with the current government that could rally voters behind a challenger.
However, he argued that such a situation is unlikely to occur with President Bola Tinubu, despite the existing discontent with his administration.
He also clarified that, despite criticisms of Tinubu’s performance, he remains a powerful political figure.
“Tinubu is the last political leader you can expect to deny his second term, his abysmal performance in government notwithstanding,” Nnanna remarked.
This statement highlights Nnanna’s confidence in Tinubu’s robust political connections and the strong loyalty he holds within the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), as well as among other key power players in the country.
Nnanna’s analysis suggests that, despite the challenges and criticisms surrounding Tinubu’s leadership, the existing political framework makes it hard to envision a situation where he would fail to secure a second term.
He emphasizes the complexity of Nigerian politics, where alliances and strategic political moves are crucial in determining the outcomes.
