Akume’s ‘Power Rotation’ Comments Misleading…President Tinubu Doesn’t Deserve Another Term-Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar submitted on Monday that the comments made about ‘power rotation’ between the south and the north by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. George Akume are not only misleading but wrong.

Atiku noted that contrary to the assertions made by the SGF, the south has occupied the Presidential Villa for 17 years while the north has only done this for 11 years since the nation embraced democracy in 1999.

Recall that Akume had while appearing on a TVC programme, advised all those seeking to become the nation’s president from the north to wait until 2031.

‘President Tinubu, as a Southerner, should be allowed to have a second term, meaning that those eyeing the presidency from the North in 2027 should look beyond that year by waiting till 2031.

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’ he had submitted.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the former Vice President who reacted to Akume’s assertions in a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe on Monday, also submitted that President Bola Tinubu does not deserve a second term.

‘Where, then, does true equity and fairness reside? By the year 2027, the South will have enjoyed 17 years of leadership—eight years under Obasanjo, five years under Jonathan, and four years under Tinubu—while the North will have experienced only 11 years, with Yar’Adua serving three and Buhari eight.

This results in a disparity of six years between the North and South, casting a shadow over the balance of power.

In any case, the power to elect and vote out their government lies firmly with the Nigerian people, entrusted to them upon the government’s ability to prove itself worthy of the people’s ballot. But has the Tinubu government demonstrated that it deserves to be re-elected? The answer, alas, is as clear as the heavens themselves—God forbid’ he said -Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
