A former Deputy National spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Yekini Nabena says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would spend eight years maximum in office.
The president is barely one year in office, but his supporters have started campaigning for his second term in office.
According to the Constitution, a sitting president has the right to seek re-election.
Amidst whether Tinubu would seek another four years in office, Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president recently called for political parties in the country to join forces to unseat the incumbent in 2027.
Atiku had cited the case of Senegal where Diomaye Faye recently won the election with the support of many opposition parties which came together to defeat the ruling party.
Speaking, Nabena in a statement on Tuesday, said Tinubu must complete his two terms in the presidency.
President Tinubu must complete eight years for the south after Muhammadu Buhari served out for the North.
He said: “If former President Muhammadu Buhari could complete his eight years in office, by the grace of God Almighty, the incumbent President Bola Tinubu will do the same, not even the talk of mega party or merger can stop him,” the statement reads.
“The south must also complete the eight years political arrangement and President Bola Tinubu will do that for the south.
“The south will not fight each other again for other regions to benefit, the era of division in southern Nigeria is gone for good. The Almighty God will perfect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s health and grant him wisdom to take the country to the promised land.”
