Make this man rest if pdp still hands its ticket to him there something serious wrong with d pdp. Give goodluck Johnathan that ticket
The Electoral Act signed by Buhari ruled Jonathan out. There's a clause in the act that says no leader can be sworn in as the president of Nigeria more than twice

Whether Tinubu can or cannot be defeated in the next poll is not the issue.

Tinubu will have atleast one Challenger in the next poll.
And the north is trying to unseat a southern Muslim with a southern Christian in the next poll. If that happens, Muslims would have been president for 12 consecutive years since Buhari, then slide in a Christian in Johnathan for just 4years, so as to have a fully north breeded Muslim president for the next 8years.
12years plus 8years will be 20years Muslim presidency with the christians tasting just 4years within that time.

Whether Tinubu gets to complete 2terms or Johnathan gets to unseat Tinubu for just 1term as president, either way, it will be a loss for the southern Christian.
And the Johnathan card will deliver the worse blow to South if you notice.

So, I will Support Tinubu presidency for 2term over Atiku or Johnathan.
This is the way to go as it will compel the north to field a northern Christian after Tinubu 2 terms to improve their chances of winning the presidency to the North.

Interesting times ahead in politics
It is quiet unfortunate mentality that stinks as these is flown aloud, whether xtain or muslim why should it matter, is governance about church or mosque,

now that we have muslim muslim, are the muslims living a better life than xtains, was ileya ram cheaper.

Atiku wants to talk about equity, what about NC that as never produce any president in the north or the south east that not produce any president since 1st republic

if we want to talk about equity nd fairness shouldnt these regions be on top of priority chart ... Atiku should go n sit, his greed and selfishness is why pdp is apart

Atiku should rest jawe!

It has been in this order==OBJ=Yar'adua=GEJ=Buhari=Tinubu. where is the cheating here?

After the South completes 8 years, a Northerner will come in. It balances the sequence in that order

Its nobody's fault that Yar'adua died in power, even GEJ's only 4 years has balanced that out.

RealGandalf:
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

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.

Source: The Bureau Newspaper
The more than 30 years of northern military leadership of Nigeria from 1967 to 1999 is cleverly written off by Atiku Abubakar.
That period, northern Nigeria used its military dictators to restructure Nigeria politically by proliferating 20 mostly non viable states in the old Northern region to funnel oil revenues to the north as well as create excess political Representation Constituencies in the old Northern region. That made southern politicians begin to lick the diccks of northern politicians in Nigeria's political process.

If you are not the one wasting your time, then point out the falsehood in this.
The North ruled through Tafawa Balewa, Gowon, Murtala, Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Abdusalam.. those years don't count I guess.

Atiku must be a very dishonest man to have made the claim that South ruled Nigeria more than North.

What has Atiku said about the marathon Muslim to Muslim/Muslim presidents Nigeria is currently having.

From Buhari - Muslim, ruled for 8years to Tinubu - Muslim with 4years tenure in the bag and hoping to secure another 4years to make it 8years.

Buhari - Muslim - 8years plus Tinubu - Muslim - 8years, will be 16years of Muslim presidency.
Let's not forget that Tinubu currently running a Muslim Presidents and Muslim Vice.

Atiku is another Muslim hoping to succeed a Muslim in Tinubu.
If Atiku happen to succeed Tinubu, after completing two terms, will be 24years of simultaneous Muslim presidency.

For 24years, Christians would been successfully relegated to the background as far as presidency is concerned.

Does Atiku really stand for Equity he is preaching now?

Those years don't count, because we have a new chapter of democracy since 1999.

Why is Atiku fretting about the presidency of this country. How many times had he contested for it without making a head way. He should face his business and be contented with the loot he already has, because it would seem, true to Gordon's statement, that since the erstwhile boss of Atiku told him that he would hear from him (Atiku's boss), Atiku's continued attempts at clinching the president of the country had continued to yield nil results.

This is one of the problem we have ,Tinubu hasn't finished one term , he and his cabinet has already started planning for second term political Campaigns. In as much as I don't want Tinubu to win again , there are indications and over 90% possibility that he will win again. Not because he is performing but because of the calibre of politicians we have parading themselves as opposition politicians

.. they said 2027 election is between APC and nigerians..APC vs nigerians..it's nigerians that are complaining of the hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living...not PDP or labour party politicians.. PDP and labour party politicians already have money so the hunger and hardship is not affecting them..it's nigerians that are complaining of the hunger, hardship inflation, high costs of living..so it's nigerians to decide their fate, destiny in 2027 election if they still want to continue with the hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living or if they do not want to continue with it?
