The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has told former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to perish the thought of taking over the presidential villa in 202.
Akume gave Atiku the advice when he was a guest on a TVC programme on politics, on Sunday.
The SGF told Atiku that it is still the turn of the South to produce a president in 2027.
He asked him to wait till 2031 when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would have completed his second term.
Akume said if God wants Atiku to be president, he can win an election at the age of 90. locations
According to the former governor of Benue State, President Tinubu has not lost goodwill among Nigerians as a result of tax reform bills and other strategic economic decisions taken within the last 17 months of his administration.
He said Tinubu would serve out his two terms of four years each as president of Nigeria.
He said, “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.
“If it is the will of God for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to be President of Nigeria, even at the age of 90 years, he can get it. But he and other northerners eyeing the office now should look beyond 2027.”
Akume said the tax reform bills was well thought out that would help the country when passed by the National Assembly.
Akume appealed to Nigerians to allow the bills to scale through the required legislative processes, saying, “They are well-envisioned for Nigeria and Nigerians.”
