This Talk Of 2027 Presidency Is Too Early, Focus On Good Governance – ACF Admonishes Akume

Naijaonpoint reports that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, had asked northern political leaders preparing to run for the 2027 Presidency to shelve their ambition and wait till 2031 when President Tinubu would have finished his second term.

Reacting to the AGF’s submission, Arewa admonished the incumbent adminstration for obsessing over the 2027 election instead of focusing on delivering good governance to Nigerians.

Speaking to Punch, the ACF National Publicity Secretary, Tukur Muhammad-Baba, insisted that the talk about the 2027 Presidency was a distraction from the more pressing issues facing the country.

Mohammad-Baba emphasised that the ACF won’t take a partisan stance on who should be voted for or against, noting that its primary concern was the wellbeing of the electorate.

He said, “So far, we have not issued any stand one way or the other on the issue. We thought concentration should be on good governance and delivery of services to the electorate.

“Our position is that it’s too early to debate the 2027 Presidency. We think the focus should be on good governance and the delivery of good dividends of democracy to the people.

“This talk of 2027 is too early, and it’s a distraction to the dialogue that should be taking place. Is democracy paying off for the people? Should the government do something for the people? This is what should preoccupy the minds of Nigerians, not the 2027 Presidency.”
