Daniel Bwala, former spokesman for the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, asserted that Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, can only realistically become Nigeria’s president in 2039.
In a statement shared on his X handle on Monday, Bwala explained that President Bola Tinubu would need to complete two terms, followed by eight years of northern leadership, before power shifts back to the south, as reported by Vanguard.
Bwala said, “@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.”
