This Atiku will never learn. Bury your 2027 ambition’, Onanuga slams Atiku over fresh comments on power rotation

By -


 Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, has issued a scathing critique of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar following the latter's recent remarks regarding Nigeria’s power rotation arrangement. In a strongly worded statement, Onanuga accused Atiku of attempting to undermine the established North-South formula to suit his personal political interests ahead of the 2027 general elections.


The presidency's reaction was triggered by Atiku’s Wednesday interview on Arise TV, where the former Vice President argued that he is not bound by the rotation principle because the South has theoretically held power for more years than the North since 1999. Onanuga dismissed this logic as "dubious arithmetic," noting that the North’s shorter tenure was a result of the untimely death of President Umaru Yar’Adua, an "accidental breach" that does not invalidate the broader agreement.
