For northern politicians eyeing the job of President Tinubu in 2027, they must wait for the incumbent to complete his maximum eight year term, according to the national Chairman of the ruling APC Abudullahi Ganduje.
The APC chairman made this assertion on Tuesday when a delegation from the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Media Centre and the Tinubu Northern Youth Forum, paid him a visit at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
Ganjuje, the immediate past governor of Kano state said the president will be in office for two terms despite the shenanigans against him, particulate politicians of northern extraction, he said. He said politicians from the northern part of the country must shelve their ambition, as equity demands that they do so, after having a president from the north, who ruled the country for eight years wihtout interruption.
According to him, it would be the north’s turn when President Tinubu fnishes his term in 2031, asserting that “insha Allah” Tinubu will go for “second term”
He said making Tinubu, the president, after the strong forces that stood agaisnt him was not a child’s play, that now that he’s in power he’s ‘entitled to reelection.
He said Nigerians are already witnessing the progress under the Tinubu’s administration due to the ongoing reforms.
Gnaduje: “When a leader from the North was in office for eight years, we insisted that the next president should come from the South. We worked hard with the cooperation of Nigerians, and today, our President is from the South. Insha Allah, he will go for his second term in 2027, and after that, it will be the North’s turn again”, Others
“Our President is a reformer and a visionary leader. His policies are necessary for Nigeria’s social and economic development. Many things went wrong over a long period, and fixing them requires precision. However, we are already seeing results, particularly in the economy.”
President Tinubu has been facing a serious backlash from Nigerians, particularly northern leaders who complained that his government policies have imposed hardship on the region and its people.
As a result, some northern leaders, including a former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are set to compete against the incumbent in the 2027 presidential election, sources said.
