2027 Election: North Won’t Vote Peter Obi

Ahead of the 2027 Election, the North is not prepared to vote for Peter Obi, says Ali Modu Sheriff.

Newera News gathered that Sheriff remarked that former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to wait till 2031 because the North won’t vote Peter Obi. Sheriff said

Former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, should wait till 2031 to become Nigeria’s president because President Bola Tinubu will complete his eight-year term.

Sheriff also said the North will not back the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, even though he has Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate.

Appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday night, Sheriff stated that the North will never vote for Obi.

Sheriff said: “I don’t worry about Peter Obi because I know Northerners will never support him.

“The situation is different now. During Peter Obi’s time as governor, he worked to get Northerners to leave Anambra State. This is what people in Kano are telling Kwankwaso now.

“They claim they have always stood by him and will keep doing so if he runs for president, but they won’t support him if he sides with Peter Obi.

“For Atiku, this is not the North’s turn. He is a well-respected leader and very qualified, but he has to wait until 2031. President Buhari has finished eight years of being in charge, so now it’s the South’s turn.”

Ali Modu Sheriff (born 1956) is a Nigerian politician who served as governor of Borno State from 2003 to 2011. He was the first governor to serve two consecutive terms.
