Former spokesperson and Director-General of Peter Obi’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, has stated that the South, not the North, should produce Nigeria’s president in 2027.
Speaking with the Newsmen today in Lagos, Okupe argued that geopolitical considerations make it unfair for the North to reclaim the presidency after President Bola Tinubu’s tenure.
Okupe acknowledged that the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is eminently qualified to run in 2027.
However, he contended that Atiku’s candidacy would face the same challenges as in 2023 when his bid was perceived as disrupting the North-South power rotation.
