RMRDC Chief Urges Peter Obi to Support Tinubu in 2027

Ike-Muonso, the chief executive of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC), stated during an interaction session with newsmen in Abuja that Peter Obi should consider stepping down for Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential elections. He emphasized the importance of the principle of power rotation between the North and South, which has influenced Nigeria's political landscape since 1999.

Ike-Muonso argued that allowing Tinubu to complete a second term would enable the South to finish its eight-year presidential tenure before the North has another opportunity to lead. He suggested that Obi could join the All Progressives Congress (APC) to engage in policy discussions and contribute to governance.

Ike-Muonso noted that Obi's political influence could be better utilized in promoting national unity and economic development rather than focusing solely on his presidential ambitions. He urged Obi to support Tinubu in 2027 while using the intervening years to build alliances and engage in progressive political ideas.
