The former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other northern politicians aspiring for the presidency in the country has been urged by Senator George Akume, the Secretary General of the Federal to exercise patience until 2031, asserting that the region’s turn for the nation’s top seat is not in 2027.
He offered the advise while speaking on TVC’s Politics on Sunday program, hosted by Femi Akande.
“President Tinubu should be allowed to serve a second term. Those from the North, including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, should look beyond 2027 and consider 2031,” he said.
Akume added, “If it is God’s will for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to become President, even at the age of 90, it will happen. But for now, they should let President Tinubu continue his work of repositioning the nation.”
The SGF also defended the Tax Reform Bills as visionary legislation designed to rescue the nation’s economy, urging Nigerians to support their passage through the National Assembly.
“These bills are well-envisioned for Nigeria and Nigerians. Let us allow the legislative processes to take their course. These reforms will ultimately benefit everyone when fully implemented,” Akume stated.
