Atiku Camp Responds to Onanuga on Power Rotation Debate

Atiku Abubakar's camp, represented by Phrank Shaibu, responded strongly to Bayo Onanuga's remarks made during a live interview on ARIS TV. Onanuga argued that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should retain power until 2031, following the completion of an eight-year term by a northern president.

Shaibu countered that no presidential aid can rewrite Nigeria's constitution to support a power rotation scheme that undermines democracy. He criticized the notion that the presidency is a "crowned" position and highlighted the need for credible opposition voices in the political landscape.

Shaibu also condemned the revisionist history surrounding the 2023 elections, asserting that the loss was due to a combination of factors, including electoral irregularities. He emphasized that the future of Nigeria should be determined by the people, not by political elites manipulating power dynamics.

The exchange reflects escalating political rhetoric as the 2027 elections approach.
