The Arewa Consultative Forum and the 2023 presidential candidate air jordan 1 mid outlet of the Peoples Democratic Party have knocked the Presidency for stating that President Bola barron trump height tall nikes melania donald trump Tinubu would stay in power till 2031.
The ACF said Tinubu’s administration should focus on delivering good governance to Nigerians instead of obsessing over the 2027 election.
Osun Defender reports that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, had on Sunday, urged northern political leaders preparing to run for the 2027 Presidency to put aside their ambitions and wait until 2031 when President Tinubu would have ended his second term.
Speaking on a TVC programme, the SGF 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.
“If it is the will of God for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to be President of Nigeria, even at the age of 90, he can get it. But he and other northerners eyeing the office now should look beyond 2027.”
However, the ACF National Publicity Secretary, Prof. Tukur Muhammad-Baba, while responding to Akume, said it was too early to start debating the 2027 Presidency.
Mohammad-Baba emphasised that the ACF won’t take a partisan stance on who should be voted for or against, noting that its primary concern was the wellbeing of the electorate.
“So far, we have not issued any stand one way or the other on the issue. We thought concentration should be on good governance and delivery of services to the electorate,” he said.
Muhammad-Baba argued that the talk about the 2027 Presidency was a distraction from the more pressing issues facing the country.
He said, “Our position is that it’s too early to debate the 2027 Presidency. We think the focus should be on good governance and the delivery of good dividends of democracy to the people.
“This talk of 2027 is too early, and it’s a distraction to the dialogue that should be taking place. Is democracy paying off for the people? Should the government do something for the people? This is what should preoccupy the minds of Nigerians, not the 2027 Presidency.”

In his own reaction, former Vice President Atiku argued that there was a six-year difference in the length of time the North and South have held the Presidency.
Atiku, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, said that by 2027, the South will have had 17 years of leadership.
Atiku stated, “Where, then, does true equity and fairness reside? By the year 2027, the South would have enjoyed 17 years of leadership — eight years under Obasanjo, five years under Jonathan, and four years under Tinubu — while the North would have experienced only 11 years, with Yar’Adua serving three and Buhari eight. This resulted in a disparity nike air force 1 07 black cool grey racer blue white of six years between the North and South, casting a shadow over the balance of power.
“In any case, 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. But has the Tinubu government demonstrated that it deserves to be re-elected? The answer, alas, is as clear as the heavens themselves — God forbid.”
