Northern Presidential Aspirants Advised to Wait Till 2031, Says SGF Akume

Senator George Akume advises northerners who are interested in the presidency in 2027 to wait until 2031, according to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

In a statement, Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has urged northern politicians who are eyeing the 2027 presidential race to wait until 2031 for their chance at the top office. Akume's recommendation suggests that a power shift in the region is being planned and timed to occur during his own tenure as president, which he will likely end in 2031 after serving two terms under the constitution. The appeal comes amidst speculation about potential contenders from the north who are rumored to be eyeing the presidency.
