A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Uche Nwosu, has played down the possibility of an Igbo man taking over from President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Nwosu also declared that the presidency cannot return to the North in 2027.
He said such a plan was unrealistic as former President Muhammadu Buhari completed eight years in office.
Nwosu, Senator Rochas’ Okorocha’s in-law and former Chief of Staff, stated this in an interview with newsmen on Saturday in Abuja.
He said, "It is unfair and unjust to say power should return to the North in 2027.
"I am not in support of that. I am 100 per cent in support of the south to complete its eight years.
“We have President Bola Tinubu who is from the south. So why should we, at this point in time, start talking about power returning to the north?
“Former President Buhari just finished his eight years. So, it is very justifiable that the south should finish its eight years too before we now talk about power shifting.”
Speaking on the agitation for power shift to the South-East zone, Nwosu said that the people of the zone should allow Tinubu to finish his tenure first.
