A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Osita Okechukwu, on Thursday warned the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and other intending candidates that there is “no vacancy” in the presidential villa in 2027.
Okechukwu said nobody should fault the APC National
Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, for stating that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock
in 2027.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, the former Director General
of the Voice of Nigeria (VON) said the blame should go to “Atiku and his cohorts
in the PDP who erroneously breached the rotation convention, which governs the
4th Republic of Nigeria.”
He noted that the “erroneous breach of the rotation
convention had divided the PDP irretrievably, albeit producing the Wike
masquerade, which cannot be easily wiped off or lashed off the party’s bone
marrow.”
Okechukwu said it will be difficult for the PDP to play a
robust role as the foremost opposition party in the near future.
He added that the PDP will not succumb to a second role in a
merger like the defunct ACN due to the greed of their leaders, which confirms
the ancient maxim, “divided we fall.”
Okechukwu said: “The erroneous breach of the rotation
convention, a ligament holding our fledgling democracy together in the 2023
presidential election, is the PDP’s biggest miscalculation.”
“The rotation fire is raging and may not be quenched before
2027. The ugly outcome scenario sounds like the local clincher of the advisory
song of the birds to the Reverend Father during Mass, that the big men seated
in the altar front row are all the same character.”
He also dissuaded those opposing Tinubu from running for a
second term due to Nigeria’s economic hardship.
The former DG assured that the economic hardship will ease
before the 2027 presidential election because some of Tinubu’s economic
policies will start bearing positive fruits.
He pointed out that the president has prepared the grounds
for Foreign Direct Investments.
“The truism is that President Tinubu has done well
diplomatically; he is a friend of the West and a friend of the East. This means
that he has the support of the international community to cushion the rough
economic edges with Foreign Direct Investments and loan-backed projects,”
Okechukwu added.

Anytime any administration wants to achieve some cheap publicity, using an Igbo man is always ideal for them. This Okechukwu is no doubt an Igbo man. He will mever see anything good in his own brother. Anytime he is butted out, he becomes a historian of other peoples actions & in-actions.
