The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has advised former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and other northern political gladiators planning to contest the 2027 presidential election to drop their plans.
Akume further counselled Atiku and co. to wait until 2031, when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would have completed his second term.
The SGF gave the advice on Sunday while appearing on a TVC programme on politics, adding that it is still the South’s turn to produce a president in 2027.
He 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.”
Akume urged Nigerians to allow the bills to scale through the required legislative processes, saying, “They are well-envisioned for Nigeria and Nigerians.”
