Paul Ibe, the spokesperson of the 2023 Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, says President Bola Tinubu
has not shown that he deserves a second term in office.
Ibe was reacting to comments by the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume that the North should forget
contesting against Tinubu in 2027.
Akume had cautioned Northern political bigwigs against
contesting against Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking with TVC on Sunday, the SGF insisted that 2027 is
still the turn of the South to produce the President.
Reacting, Ibe noted that the North is still shortchanged
with a difference of six years.
Posting on X, Ibe wrote: “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.”
