Former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje has described the plan by some politicians in the country to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 as a gang-up that will fail.
Ganduje made the assertion on Friday, in Abuja, the nation’s capital when a group, Forum of Northern Nigeria Youth Leaders paid him a visit in his office.
The former APC boss said the country is lucky to have President Tinubu as its leaders, saying the incumbent still has more than four years to spend in office, in accordance with the power sharing agreement between the North and South.
According to him, there was an agreement among political players in the country, to the effect that after the eight years government of late President Muhammadu Buhari, the office should be ceded to the South for another eight years, adding that those planning to unseat Tinubu from office in 2027 “are making a big mistake”.
Ganduje: “Pertaining to the next election in 2027, those that are nursing or thinking otherwise, that the North will vote for another candidate other than Asiwaju, are making a big mistake.
“This is the first time Nigeria as a nation is lucky to have a politician as President. His constituency is politics, his upbringing is politics because he believes in the unity of this country. In fact, he struggled; he was even in exile for democracy to survive in Nigeria.
“So there is no better person to be elected in 2027 than Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Recall that a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples party, NNPP, Buba Galadinma had earlier in the week said President Tinubu will not be returned to office in 2027.
The former APC chieftain said all what the opposition figures in the country needed to do to defeat Tinubu, is unite and put a credible presidential candidate forward.
