The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has advised northern politicians nursing presidential ambition for 2027 general election to discard the idea as incumbent President Bola Tinubu will serve two terms in office.
Ganduje gave the advice when he played host to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Media Centre (PBAT Media Centre) and Tinubu Northern Youth Forum (TNYF), at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said anybody day-dreaming that the presidency will return to the North in 2027 should wake up from his or her slumber as that would not be possible.
“When a leader from the northern part of this country was in office for eight years, we advocated that the next president in our party should come from the South.
“And luckily enough, we worked very hard with the cooperation of Nigerians. Our president has come from the South and is going, Insha Allah, for the second term in 2027. And then after that, it will return to the northern part of this country.
“There is no doubt that many things went wrong over a long period of time, and it requires surgery before we can get it right.
“We are happy that we have started seeing the outcome of the reforms, especially on the economic front, and we believe this will continue to yield positive results so that the legacy and the Renewed Hope Agenda will be achieved,” Ganduje stated.
Earlier, the leader of the PBAT Media Centre and the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, said members of the centre were set to correct all the wrong narratives against the Tinubu administration.
For his part, the national coordinator of TNYF, Auwal Ibrahim, said his group has perfected plans to deliver five million votes to the President in 2027 presidential election.
