Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last general election has reacted to a statement by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume.
Akume had on Sunday, December 8, told northern political aspirants to put off contesting the presidential election until 2031, when President Bola Tinubu would have completed his second term.
The SGF specifically asked Atiku to forget about being President in 2027, adding that if God wants Atiku to be President, he can win an election at the age of 90.
Reacting through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku stated that President Tinubu’s performance showed he did not deserve another term.
“God forbid,” Atiku said, adding that Nigerians will decide who will lead the country in 2027.
Atiku added that the disparity of six years in power between the North and South casts a shadow over the balance of power.
He said by 2027, the South would have enjoyed 17 years of leadership, while the North would have experienced 11 years.
