A presidential spokesperson stated on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu must be allowed a second term in office to complete the constitutionally allowed eight years.
Bayo Onanuga stated this in response to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s statement on Wednesday that he did not believe it was still the turn of Southern Nigeria to hold the office of the president in 2027.
Mr Onanuga said Atiku has a history of jettisoning an unwritten rotational principle that many citizens agree to, which allows the office of the president to rotate between the North and the South every eight years.
“Since Buhari completed his eight years, Tinubu too must complete his own,” Mr Onanuga wrote on X on Thursday morning.
