God Forbid, Tinubu Hasn’t Shown He’s Re-electable – Atiku Replies Akume
Ibe was reacting to comments by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume that the North should forget contesting against Tinubu in 2027.
The 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has replied comments by Secretary to the Federation, George Akume that North should not contest in the 2027 presidential election.
Reacting through his spokesperson, Paul Ibe, Atiku noted that Tinubu has not shown that he deserves a second term in office
Recall that Akume had cautioned Northern political bigwigs against contesting against Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking with TVC on Sunday, the SGF insisted that 2027 is still the turn of the South to produce the President.
Reacting, Ibe noted that the North is still shortchanged with a difference of six years.
Posting on X, 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.”
