Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, urged those aspiring for the presidency to quit the idea.
The move comes amid speculations that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate of the last election, Atiku Abubakar, are teaming up to sack President Bola Tinubu in the coming election.
A post shared by Igbokwe on his official Facebook page warned those having presidential ambitions to refrain, stating that Tinubu would remain Nigeria’s president until 2031.
According to Igbokwe, the president needs a second term to enable him to “set the records straight.”
He wrote:
“If any presidential aspirant is dreaming of winning presidential elections in 2027, I will advise that candidate to perish the thought till 2031.
“PBAT is destined to remain in the seat of power till 2031. He needs eight years to set the records straight.”
