FCT, Abuja – Doyin Okupe, former Presidential Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, said the North would be shooting itself in the foot should the region pick a southern candidate against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Okupe said should the new southern candidate defeat Tinubu in 2027, it would extend the lifespan of the rotation to the south by another four years.
He stated this during an interview on Arise Television on Monday, November 25.
Speaking further, Okupe said that the presidency will not return to the North in 2027.
He added that:
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that opposition political parties and groups in Nigeria are ready to give President Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) a tough contest in 2027.
They are making moves to ally to challenge and stop the ruling APC and Tinubu from getting a second term in office.
APGA founder, Chief Chekwas Okorie, disclosed that the realignment of political forces would be concretised by the second quarter of 2025.
