Ganduje: APC, Tinubu to Remain in Power Until 2031, Presidency to Shift North

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje has said that the party and President Tinubu will be in power till 2031 after which power will rotate to the North.

Ganduje spoke on Tuesday when two pro-Tinubu support groups paid him a courtesy visit at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.

The Tinubu Young Generation Forum and the Tinubu Young Northern Forum were at the National headquarters of the party to show their support to the administration of the president and also to appreciate Ganduje for the way he has handled the affairs of the ruling party.

Ganduje said the APC is a party that believes in zoning because it ensure that equity and fairness is meted to all parts of the country.

He further stated that President Tinubu is a leader who has continued to treat all parts of the country fairly whether they are in the North or in the South.

“This is very, very encouraging. And also, you know, our president is for the north, our president is for the south, our president is for the six geopolitical zones.

“And we are happy that our party believes in zoning. When a leader from the northern part of this country was in office for 8 years, we advocated that the next president in our party should come from the south.

“And luckily enough, we worked very hard with the cooperation of Nigerians. Our president has come from the south and is going, inshallah, for second term, 2027. And then after that, it will be returned to the northern part of this country”.

The APC boss eulogized the Northern Youth Forum for believing in the zoning formula of the party saying it is a clear demonstration that they are real patriots and democrats.

“So this northern youth forum, I believe we are on the right course and we encourage you to continue working on that. We will study your documents and we shall see areas of cooperation.

Ganduje equally said he is convinced that the reforms being introduced by the government of President Tinubu are all geared towards pulling the country out of economic and social problems.
