2027: Atiku Is an Enemy of the North, Akume Says

At a pre-campaign meeting in Kaduna, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume said any northerner running for president in 2027 would be an “enemy of the North.” He cited the power-rotation agreement between the North and South, reached in Kaduna to preserve Nigeria’s unity, and said the North’s turn would come in 2031. Akume urged northerners to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election and defended his record, including the fairness of his appointments and religious balance.
