The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume has issued a warning to politicians from the North.

He asked them to wait until 2031 to contest for presidency.

Akume stated this while speaking on a TVC programme, ‘Politics Today’.

He urged those eyeing the presidency in 2027 to allow President Bola Tinubu complete a potential second term.

The SGF also asked the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, not to seek the exalted seat in 2027.

“Today, it’s what I said at the convocation of Nile University, where I was given an honorary doctorate. I appealed to my brothers in the north to wait till 2031 to run for presidential election.

“It is not yet the time for the north to throw in the hat in the ring. It’s not yet the time. This has been my appeal to them. Let us not destroy our country because of personal ambition.

“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 said.
