Why North Should Wait Until 2031 for President, SSG Akume Explains to Atiku, Others

A former President of Nigeria and the 2023 presidential candidate of t he Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has been urged to wait until 2031 to contest for presidency.

This advice was given to Atiku and others Northerners hoping to succeed President Bola Tinubu in the next presidential election scheduled to hold in 2027 by the Secretary to the State Government, George Akume.

Speaking on a Channels Television programme on Sunday, the SSG said presidency will not be going to the Northern until 2031.

Akume said it is important for all Northern politicians to shelve their presidential ambitions and make way for those from the Southern region.

He also stated that President Tinubu would have completed his second term by then to avail them the opportunity by 2031.

Akume 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,” SSG said.

‘I’ve Asked Him Twice’ – Sowunmi Reveals Atiku’s Reaction to 2027 Presidency

Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former spokesman for the presidential campaign of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, revealed that he has asked the former VP twice about his plans for the 2027 presidency.

According to Sowunmi, Atiku is still in a reflective mood, weighing his options carefully before making a decision.

“Atiku Abubakar is one man I love with my bones. The heart will decay quickly but the bone is the last thing that will decay.

“I have asked him twice, ‘are you running? Are you done? If you are running, what do we do with this structure? If you’re not done we have to do something different’,” Sowunmi said. “He was quiet, he was still in a reflective mood. He’s not said ‘no’, he’s not said ‘yes’ and I respect that.”

He added, “Any sensible person should know that the burden of election is heavy. No human being that has had the kind of experience, challenges and even the kind of betrayal Atiku has endured should not reflect deeply before saying ‘I’m going to run’.

“I don’t do guess work. I’ve asked him twice, he didn’t answer. When he answers, whatever answer he gives, we’ll take it to the next level.”

It is believed that Atiku’s body language suggests he is warming up to run for the presidency again.

Atiku ran unsuccessfully for President of Nigeria six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and recently in 2023.

2027: “Stop Keeping The Company Of Alcoholics” – Atiku Camp Hits Back At Makinde |

A two-time Director of Youth Mobilisation in the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign in 2019 and 2023, Hon. Dimeji Fabiyi, has said that age cannot stop the former vice president from contesting the 2027 presidential election.

Fabiyi was reacting to the remarks by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on the criteria for presidential candidates.

Governor Makinde had insinuated that age was a limiting factor for presidential hopefuls in the party.

Though Atiku’s name was not mentioned by Makinde, Atiku, who is still nursing presidential ambition in the next general election, will be 81 years old by 2027.

Fabiyi in his response to Makinde, admonished the Oyo State governor “to devote more time to reading good books and familiarise himself more with intellectuals, instead of keeping the company of alcoholics, so that when next he speaks, he won’t be mistaken for someone who prides himself for drinking 40 years old whiskey.”

FCT minister Nyesom Wike, who is a close ally of Makinde, had last year said he was drinking 40-year-old whiskey at the time Atiku lost the 2027 election.

Fabiyi also noted that ‘’Atiku is of sound mind and body, with the intellectual firmament that measures far ahead of Makinde.”

Fabiyi noted that while Atiku may be older than Makinde, he has the experience and a cosmopolitan ability to solve problems.

He said: “As a matter of fact, I challenge Seyi Makinde to an intellectual contest with Atiku, and we shall see how his arrogance and presumed youthfulness will be humbled.

“I have known Atiku for almost three decades, and I can tell you for free that he’s an avid reader. When Seyi Makinde is in town, he should seek out how resourceful and flourishing Atiku’s library is.

“Atiku is not a connoisseur of expensive wines and doesn’t keep the company of cringe drinkers. Rather, he’s a lover of books who reads widely.

“Unless Makinde believes that leadership is determined by aerodynamic strength, he should have been more guided before making a comment that makes him look like a clown.”

According to Kyari, NNPC Ltd is now free of any outstanding debts, noting that this significant milestone was reached after all subsidies were completely eliminated.

He said, “As professionals, just know that PMS is a major distraction to the upstream, we transfer all our resources, and cash flow to ensure that it survives and is sustained. That’s why sometimes we default in our cash flows, it is because of the distraction this has (PMS subsidies) caused NNPC as a partner. Now that distraction is gone, you will confirm that we don’t owe any cash flow, and for us to sustain this, those distractions must go away so that this industry can now produce the energy that this country needs sustainably and affordably.”

The GCEO also guaranteed that in the first half of 2025, the nation will be equipped with 12 CNG mother stations.

“By quarter one of 2025, there will be at least 12 mother stations that will be available for CNG, and not only that, we are also building a mini Liquefied Natural Gas plant that will deliver gas into the market and also sustain the quality of CNG delivery and make gas available to mini power plants across this industry in the short term.”

Atiku Has No Chance In PDP, Won’t Get 2027 Presidential Ticket – Wike

Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), recently cast doubt on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s prospects of securing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination for the 2027 presidential race.

During a live media interview on Wednesday in Abuja, Wike pointed out that Atiku’s policy proposals have been repeatedly presented to the Nigerian people and consistently dismissed by voters.

POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that Atiku, the PDP’s presidential candidate in 2023, recently asserted that his administration would have provided relief from the current hardships faced by Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu.

Responding to this, Wike questioned the viability of giving Atiku another chance, saying, “Did he (Atiku) not present his blueprint to Nigerians? Did they choose him?”

“He is lobbying for another chance, but that chance will not be there. In which party? How can we rely on one individual for so many years?”.

Drawing an analogy with U.S. politics, Wike compared the decision-making process to American voters’ choices, emphasizing that citizens often prioritize the nation’s welfare when casting their ballots, regardless of individual opinions on candidates.

He suggested that while criticisms are part of the democratic landscape, the Nigerian public had assessed Atiku’s vision in 2023 and opted for a different path.
