The director-general of Atiku’s The Light Organisation and a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Abdul-Aziz Nai’ibi Abubakar, recently shared his thoughts on the 2027 presidential race through his official X account. According to him, Nigeria should prioritise selecting a qualified leader to handle the nation’s problems rather than worrying about whether the president is from the North or the South.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
“2027 not about Northern/Southern Presidency!
Nigeria is at crossroads and needs a tried and tested leader who is acceptable to both the North and South.
Is Tinubu not from the South? What is he making of the current situation? Divisions, hunger, poverty, increasing fuel prices and insecurity is what he has been able to give to Nigerians whether in the South or North.
When the tenure of Southern and Northern presidents are combined irrespective of party, the South (17 years at the end of Tinubu’s rule in 2027) has ruled for longer period than the North (11 years).
Atiku is the answer, he’s experienced, tested & trusted, a true nationalist and acceptable to both the North and South. Enough of TRIAL & ERROR!” Abubakar wrote.
Abubakar argued that Nigeria is facing serious economic and security issues and needs a leader with experience and the ability to unite the nation.
He criticized the performance of President Bola Tinubu, highlighting the persistence of issues such as poverty, hunger, rising fuel prices, and insecurity.
According to him, these problems affect citizens in all regions, making regional origin irrelevant to effective governance.
He also pointed out that by the end of Tinubu’s tenure in 2027, Southern leaders would have held the presidency for a total of 17 years since 1999, compared to 11 years for Northern leaders, this, he suggested, challenges the argument for prioritizing regional power rotation and underlines the need to focus on leadership qualities.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
