2027: Atiku Replies Akume Say “God Forbid, Tinubu Hasn’t Shown He’s Re-electable”

The spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Paul Ibe, claims that President Bola Tinubu has not demonstrated that he is deserving of a second term......Read The Full Article>>.....Read The Full Article>>

Ibe was responding to remarks made by George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), suggesting that the North should not challenge Tinubu in 2027.

Political leaders in the North have been warned by Akume not to run against Tinubu in 2027.

The SGF maintained that the South will still have the opportunity to produce the president in 2027 in an interview with TVC on Sunday.

Ibe responded by saying that the North is still being undervalued by six years.

In an X post, Ibe wrote: “Where, then, does true equity and fairness reside?

“By the year 2027, the South will have enjoyed 17 years of leadership — eight years under Obasanjo, five years under Jonathan, and four years under Tinubu — while the North will have experienced only 11 years, with Yar’Adua serving three and Buhari eight.

“This results in a disparity of six years between the North and South, casting a shadow over the balance of power.

“In any case, the power to elect and vote out their government lies firmly with the Nigerian people, entrusted to them upon the government’s ability to prove itself worthy of the people’s ballot.

“But has the Tinubu government demonstrated that it deserves to be re-elected? The answer, alas, is as clear as the heavens themselves — God forbid.”
