A former spokesman for the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala said the only chance Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has to become Nigerian president is in the year 2039.
Bwala conveyed this perspective in a statement shared via his X handle on Monday.
He outlined that President Bola Tinubu would need to complete his two terms, after which power would shift back to the north for another eight years.
The former spokesperson emphasized that the southern region would only regain presidential power in 2039.
Bwala stated, “@PeterObi only stands the chance to be Nigerian president from 2039 when he will clock 79, or above 79 years.
“By then his message would no longer be “vote me because I am the younger of the candidates” but it will be “vote me because age doesn’t matter but capacity.”
“The reason is @officialABAT will finish his two terms, then power would come to the north for another 8 years, before it goes to the south.
“The e-rodents who keep shouting “we are the youth” by then would be saying “we are the elders”. Blessed week ahead.”
