Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria, has raised concerns over calls from the Bola Tinubu-led administration urging Northerners to hold off on contesting the presidency until 2031. Atiku described this as inequitable, pointing out a significant disparity in the years of leadership shared between the North and South.

Leadership Disparity

Atiku Nigeria did not become an imdependent country im 1999.Make your calculation from 1960,how mamy years have the North ruled Nigeria.
Afyer Tinubu another Southerner from SS should rule for another 8 years.

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku highlighted the imbalance:



Atiku's remarks come as a response to Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, who recently called on Northerners to support Tinubu for a second term. Speaking on TVC, Akume stated, “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.”

Atiku's Push for Equity

Atiku questioned the fairness of this proposed arrangement, emphasizing the need for a balanced power-sharing structure between the North and South. He stated:



While calling for fairness, Atiku reminded Nigerians that ultimate power lies with the electorate:

“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.”

A Challenge to the Tinubu Administration

Critically, Atiku questioned the Tinubu administration’s performance as a basis for seeking re-election. He concluded with a scathing remark:



Implications for 2027

Atiku's comments underline the ongoing debate over power rotation in Nigeria, a critical factor in the country’s political landscape. As the 2027 election approaches, discussions about equity, fairness, and leadership performance are likely to intensify.

Why he didn't settle in a Muslim country? Putin will only assured him of security and nothing else. Hope he stole enough money to live the rest of his life over there?.

Oh! I got those off the "News" tab of Morgan iTrade. I don't follow the news as such. I only check when I'm bored.

You have to sieve through to find the useful ones though.

Pretty sure other brokers would have something similar.

Same old style from obj, empower the women and not the men , the afons copies it straight from the whites in the USA , then they kind of tried to empower black women and disempower the men

Now you show us the oil and gas you have in yeribaland.
Igboland has the highest cluster of oil and gas fields ONSHORE in Nigeria.

MASTAkiLLAh:
This is enough cause for the resignation of the NIMASA DG or at best, suspension pending investigations. We allow a lot of impunity to go unattended in this country and that's why politicians and their appointees keep fûcking us over because the highest we'll do is cry on social media while they use less than a million naira out of stolen billions to higher influencers who'll clean up their image

A typical Ibo suffers from grandiose delusions. From Azikiwe to Ojukwu to Kanu to Ekpa to that madcap woman who claims to be the chief of staff.
Megalomaniacs suffering from delusion over a dystopia Biafra.

Mrshape:
So Igbos can no longer bring their cultural heritage to Lagos?
Has it gotten to that stage?
This is like saying Okpa ( I don't know how they spell ) but it is called Babara Nut pudding should not be sold in Lagos because it is Igbo origine and many people don't like it.

Or Esan man can no bring their special masquerade Ubadomeme to an Event in Lagos?

South Africa no do reach this one o.

I pray Tinubu Tax bill should be passed into law.
Those people that support the concentration of our common wealth in Lagos will start speaking up against it when their state and pocket begin to fill the heat, then this tribalism will stop.

There is unity, straight and Beauty in diversity
