North Won’t Support Atiku In 2027, It’s South’s Turn – Sheriff by Segunbabba(op): 8:26am On Jul 07

Former Borno State Governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is unlikely to receive Northern backing for the 2027 presidential election, arguing that the region believes power should remain in the South.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Sheriff maintained that Nigeria’s long-standing principle of regional power rotation should be respected, especially after former President Muhammadu Buhari completed two terms in office.

He said the North has no reason to seek the presidency in 2027, insisting that Atiku should postpone any ambition until 2031.

According to Sheriff, political leaders adopted the power-sharing arrangement after the civil war to promote national unity and ensure fairness among the country’s regions.

According to Sheriff, political leaders adopted the power-sharing arrangement after the civil war to promote national unity and ensure fairness among the country’s regions.

Sheriff further dismissed the presidential ambition of former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, who is expected to contest the 2027 election under the newly registered Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

He also alleged that Obi’s record as governor of Anambra State had damaged his chances of attracting Northern voters, adding that some Northern political supporters have expressed reservations about any alliance involving the former Anambra governor.

Atiku should not even be on the ballot paper in order to honor the zoning agreement 🤝... Power will go back to the north after four years.
Atiku doesn't have integrity

Zoning agreements amongst who?

Zoning is APC and political parties problem. Nigerian constitution has no business in that.

Anyone can contest.

Gov Ali Modu Sheriff is 100% right on this matter. It is the turn of the South to complete their remaining 4 years in So Rock.

Atiku Abubakaar has no right to drag presidency with the South. It is against our constitution.

The last time you people made the ignorant comment that Peter Obi supporters are three people in a room tweeting, six millions votes emerged after voter suppression and Prof. Mahmood invention of "glitch". This time around it is APC against hungry and Angry Nigerians especially northerners.

Rotation sustains Nigeria 🇳🇬 unity.

But Tinubu knew it was not the turn of the SW in 2023, yet he jumped in to contest the residential election.

Tinubu knew that Obasanjo used the turn of the SW between 1999-2007.

Whose turn was it? SE? Calabar? Akwa-Ibom? Edo?

You are one of the reasons why Nigeria is in a mess. Still talking about turn-by-turn politics in 2027.

It would have been easier for Atiku to clinch the presidency if Obi had agreed to contest with him on a joint ticket. But as it stands today, none of the two can unseat Tinubu.
2027 presidential election is already a done deal for APC.
