Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has told the North to perish the thought of the country’s presidency returning to that region in 2027.
Okupe who made the declaration while appearing on an Arise Television programme Monday night, said those agitating for a Northern presidency in the next election are wasting their time and efforts because as things stand politically, power will not return to the north in the next election cycle.
“I say this authoritatively without any fear of contradiction or equivocation, in 2027, power cannot return to the North yet. That’s not how we do it,” the former Director-General for the Peter Obi presidential campaign council said when the question of power rotation came up.
