Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has responded to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, for saying that the North should wait until 2031 to contest the Presidential election.

Atiku, who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 elections, stated that President Tinubu’s performance showed he did not deserve another term, saying, “God for bid.”

He noted that Nigerians would decide who will be their President in 2027.

Akume, while answering questions on a television interview had said, “President Tinubu as a southerner, should be allowed to have a second term, meaning that those eyeing the Presidency from the North in 2027 should look beyond that year by waiting till 2031.

“If it is the will of God for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to be President of Nigeria, even at the age of 90 years, he can get it. But he and other northerners eyeing the office now should look beyond 2027.”

But reacting in a post on his official social media handle, the spokesman to Atiku, Paul Ibe wondered “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!” He wrote.

I love they way Atiku dey deceived himself about 2027.

Make Atiku contest again abeg, him followers need to chop, lawyers also need to chop🥱🥱

Guys are you sure you people can unseat this present government in power ?

Tinubu still betters Atiku

That is, if the failed British experiment still exist then . I wish Nigerians all the best in the the next election if there will be something still called Nigeria then.

Despite our efforts to make a positive impact in the last election, the idîotic illiterate INEC chairman unapologetically imposed the most uselèss human in the history of mankind on the people. We deserve better please. Anyone can aspire to be Nigeria's president, but certainly not the Iragbiji clown and drunkard. The clueless drug lord has nothing to offer at all .

Opposition must rally round or Tinubu stays. No other way.

This TPain na millitary man u never see anything

Atiku my guy.

Abeg just ensure PDP give you the ticket and your wife Obi also contest in Elupee.

God bless the Federal Republic.

Why are you so unstable? Sometimes you are for the disintegration of Nigeria. In another instance you want it to exist but it must be ruled by Peter Obi or no one else. Then sometimes you are for Atiku. Other times you are for Nnamdi Kanu. A little later you are for Simon Ekpa.
Stand one place! Ogini du?

Walahi Allah

God forbid !!!

Tinubu again …

God no go gree

Tinubu till 2031 Insha Allah
Tinubu would determine the next Northern president . Atiku should resign to fate . He’s not destined to be president .

Tinubu's re-election, God forbid it.
Heaven forbid it.
Earth forbid it.
In fact, the whole universe forbids it.

There is a saying..."When you find yourself in a hole, you stop digging ". Nigeria is in a deep pit presently and in 2027 Nigerians need to stop digging. Re-electing Tinubu is akin to continuing digging deeper.
Before any bingo comes to bark insults at me that it is a democracy and i am entitled to my opinion so don't be unfortunate.

Which Insha Allah? Allah can never be associated with immoral people,be warned before you attract Allah's wrath on you and your family.

Come 2027, sane Nigerians forbid the following candidates:

Tinubu
Atiku
Obi
If you want a new Nigeria, you must stop doing the same thing over and over again.

TUANKU:

God bless the Federal Republic.

You guys think Tinubu will still get more votes in Kano this time around than Atiku? Except you have plans to rig, I can assure you Tinubu will not win any state in NW if elections are held today. And guess what? NW gave Tinubu his highest regional votes

garykoeman:
I love they way Atiku dey deceived himself about 2027.

You guys said more than this in 2023. Infact, every time Tinubu wins election for himself or his comrade, he is always “Underrated”.

In Kano, Tinubu just need to bring Kwankwaso to his side or ensure he contest independently.

Ask yourself, which is beneficial to Kwakwanso ambition? ing Atiku in 2027 or ing Tinubu and waiting to be the Northern candidate in 2031?

—If he s Atiku and Atiku wins, Kwakwanso chance of being president is gone forever.

—If he s Atiku and Atiku lose, his chance in 2031 will suffer some setback and realignment would have happened.

—If he s Tinubu and Tinubu win, he can use that as a bargaining power for 2031.

—If he run independently, he will lose. But it will be a tactic for Tinubu and then make Kwakwanso still be in the discourse for 2031.

Tell me one benefit of Kwakwanso ing Atiku to his presidential ambition.

You don't need to defend a good product, don't you think so.

Legendhero... I heard redline has been postponed indefinitely. Wetin happen? IGR don finish?

E go shock una..

Nonsense

See this daft product of baby factory. Nah devil go kill the mumu you call parents .

Good product needs not much advertisment if Tinubu is performing to the average of the expectations of the masses he will have no contender to start with but as it's stands now I'm afraid Tinubu is not sellable to Nigerians except uncle yark perform his miracles again
