The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, has said God can still make former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Nigerian president at the age of 90. Akume cautioned political bigwigs from the North against contesting with President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking with TVC on Sunday, the SGF insisted that 2027 is still the turn of the South to produce a president. According to Akume , 'If it is the will of God for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to be President of Nigeria, even at the age of 90 years, he can get it. But he and other northerners eyeing the office now should look beyond 2027.
Akume appealed to Nigerians to allow the bills to scale through the required legislative processes. “They are well-envisioned for Nigeria and Nigerians,' he added. In the past, Atiku had severally contested to be president but lost. In 2023, Atiku came second behind President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress. But, some of his aides, like Segun have said the former Vice President was yet to make his intentions on running for the presidency in 2027 known.
