Atiku’s ex-aide, Afegbua, tells north to forget presidency in 2027

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kassim Afegbua, has called on northern politicians not to bother discussing about the presidency in 2027 as the south will have to complete its eight year tenure before power can go back to the northern region.

Afegbua, a former spokesman to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, while speaking on an Arise TV programme on Wednesday night, said the north should allow the south to complete its eight years in power and should not bother to discuss 2027 for power to be ceded to them.

Afegbua’s comment also supported the position of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, who urged Atiku and other northerners nursing presidential ambition in 2027 to wait until 2031.
