The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has asked northern political bigwigs warming up to contest the 2027 presidency to shelve their ambition and wait till 2031 when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would have completed his second term.
Akume specifically asked former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to perish the thought of taking over the presidential villa in 2027, saying if God wants him to be president, he can win an election at the age of 90.
Akume, who spoke on Sunday while featuring on a TV programme, said it is still the turn of the South to produce a president in 2027.
Akume further assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu has not lost goodwill among Nigerians as a result of tax reform bills and other strategic economic decisions taken within the last 17 months.
