Nigerian architect and prominent businessman, Arc. Uche Rochas, has sparked political conversations following his latest remarks on the 2027 general elections. Reacting to news that Peter Obi may be considering reuniting with his 2019 presidential ally, Atiku Abubakar, Rochas took to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle to share his thoughts.

In his post, Rochas expressed optimism about the potential alliance between Obi and Atiku, suggesting it could be the needed strategy to defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next presidential election.

He wrote:

“The ball is firmly in the court of Southeast Nigeria to form a strategic alliance with the North to bring an end to the BAT presidency in 2027. By 2031, Peter Obi could then continue from where Atiku Abubakar leaves off. This is a critical opportunity, don’t miss it. It may be the last chance.”

Anything good move that will kick out the certificate forger and drug baron from the corridor of power is highly welcome and recommended.

2019... Atikulated

2023... From Atikulated to Obidients

2027... From Obidients back to Atikulated

Funny as hell

Atiku loves Igbos

Tinubu don't like Igbos.

Tinubu has shown his disdain for Igbos for the whole world to see.

If Igbos refuse to work with Atiku to end Bola Tinubu's misrule, then Igbos should not blame anybody.

In Nigeria, for anyone to become President, two major tribes from Northern part and Southern part must work together to support that Presidential candidate; its either Hausa-Fulanis + Igbos or Hausa-Fulanis + Yorubas.

Tinubu understood this mathematics and he used it against Goodluck Jonathan by carrying the whole Yorubas to align with Buhari even when they know Buhari is a disaster waiting to happen.



So Igbos must play the same dirty game.....Peter Obi even though I know you are more than competent and capable, the reality of Nigeria's dirty politics is that you must stoop too low to conquer....so please dear Igbos...beg Peter Obi to not contest in 2027 or let him align with Atiku as his running mate.....Tinubu wanted to do it with Buhari but Buhari refused because of their Moslem Moslem religion.



Peter Obi should deputize Atiku......but the whole North must show seriousness in working seriously with Atiku and not allow Tinubu's dollar and vain political promises to sway them from working with Atiku.



This is the only way forward.

Wow. We have heard it all. Atiku loves Igbos and Tinubu does not?

Atiku's "love" for Igbos could not extend to him conceding the 2023 PDP Presidential ticket to Igbos who had been the most loyal servants of PDP for 23 years as at the time the PDP primaries toook place in 2022?

Men, the hate you guys have for Yorubas, that see you tell wild lies against them, na follow come from the womb.

Perhaps you were unaware when Atiku stated that if the PDP intended to zone the presidency to the South, it should specifically go to the South-East; however, the party ultimately decided to make the contest open to all zones.

Lolz. In addition, the north is closer to Aso rock with Tinubu in power than Atiku coming on board in 2027.
What this means is that, the north would prefer to wait for another 4 years and when Tinubu finishes in 2031, power goesll back to north for another 8 years.
But with Atiku coming in 2027 (4 years for north) and finishing in 2031, it means a southern candidate (peter obi) will take it from 2031 to 2035.
I don't think the north would want to wait or stay out of power for that long.

However, Atiku is one of the people that scattered this same presidential rotation in Pdp when Jonathan was kicked out

No one is fooled by Atiku's pledge to do one term. Everyone knows he'll say and do anything to be President. Once President nothing and no one can force him to keep to any pledge.

Especially not a cowardly weakling like Obi who has no political sagacity or influential political machinery behind him

Northern leaders with eyes on the Presidency in 2031, don't care what Atiku says or do. They will have firmly resolved to help Tinubu conlude his two terms by 2031 so they have a dispute-free shot at becoming President after PBAT and with the full backing of the incumbent too.

Ttalk:
Tell me how Tinubu take hate Igbo

Don't forget to tell us how Atiku take love Igbo.

Remember Tinubu appointed Igbo where we have over 350 ethnic groups in Nigeria into his cabinet as Lagos state governor.

Tinubu through his WAEC payment pay WAEC fee of all Igbo students residing in Lagos during his tenure.

Tell me what Atiku has done for Igbo that can match what Tinubu has done. Presently, Umahi occupied one of the most active ministry in his cabinet.

What do you want from Tinubu that will make you disabuse your mind of this hatred?

franchasng:
The usual radarada.....people also dash monkey banana, it doesn't mean they love monkeys


Love is in the heart, you cannot pretend it or buy it with ill-gotten gifts....Atiku love Igbos with his heart; take it or leave it, those who know know

Bobloco:
The same northern leaders are fully aware that PBAT cannot guarantee a power shift back to the North, because by the natural rhythm of Nigeria’s political balance, power is bound to return to the North.

If Atiku is on the ballot in 2027, the North will confront a clear reality: they have a unique chance to reclaim power earlier than expected. In either scenario, the North stands to gain, power returns in 2027 with Atiku, or in 2031 after PBAT. The northern political class is strategic and forward-thinking; they will choose the path that brings power back sooner rather than later

WizardOfNG:
You don't seem to get one thing. Politics is about permanent interests. Many Northerners, in political office, are confident they can be President in 2031.

They worked for Tinubu to emerge President in 2023 with eyes on 2031. They will do also work for Tinubu in 2027 because of personal ambition they have invested in with their financial and mobilisation support from 2022.

Those sort will have no interested in Atiku's project over their own ambition they have been preparing the ground for since 2022.

Besides, let's see Atiku and Obi get PDP 2027 ticket first because I am pretty sure Southerners won't 'simp' for Atiku and his brethren, like Tambuwal etal, in 2026, when the PDP primaries is to be contested, as they did in 2022.
