The Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Bode George, says former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, must wait till 2031 if he wants to contest for President again.
Recall that Abubakar, the PDP Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general elections, lost to the incumbent President Bola Tinubu.
George, in a statement on Wednesday, said that a southerner must occupy the office of the President and Commander in Chief from 2023 to 2031 “because that is the reality of our country, PDP constitution and our polity”.
“Even in 2027, Atiku will be 81 years and this is the time for him to embrace the President Joe Biden concept of allowing the younger generation to run for the highest office in the land.
“I have nothing personal against Alhaji Abubakar. He is my friend but the truth must be told. By 2027, by God’s Grace, I will also be in my 80s.
“So, what am I looking for in public office as an octogenarian? The same principle should apply to Alhaji Abubakar.
