2027: Atiku, Jonathan can’t defeat Tinubu, North wants 2031 – Arewa leader, Sani

A recent statement by Arewa leader, Anthony Sani, suggests that former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not be able to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Sani believes that a coalition between the two prominent figures would be necessary to unseat the incumbent president.

He also mentions the preference of southerners for a president from the South for eight years after 2023, while northerners would prefer Tinubu to serve one term before a northern president takes over in 2031. Sani highlights the complex dynamics of Nigerian politics and the importance of strategic planning for Atiku to secure victory.

Despite speculation about Jonathan joining the race, Sani emphasizes the challenges of overcoming the current administration's performance in areas such as insecurity, corruption, and economic development.
