Tuesday, September 29, 2026 - Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has urged northern presidential candidates to wait until 2031 to contest the number one seat of the country.
Yusuf made the call on Sunday at the Government
House in Kano, where he also advocated for the continued rotation of Nigeria’s
presidency between the North and the South.
According to him, presidential power should rotate between
the two regions, with each given the opportunity to produce a president for two
consecutive terms.
The governor further stated that allowing each region
complete two terms would give an administration enough time to implement major
policies and development programmes.
“I urge support for President Bola Tinubu to complete his
second term because this would allow the South to complete its two-term cycle
before power returns to the North.
“We should allow the South to complete its two-term cycle.
After that, power will return to the North in 2031,” Governor Yusuf said.
He urged political stakeholders, particularly in the North,
to exercise patience and allow the current political arrangement to run its
course, effectively asking northern presidential aspirants to defer their
ambitions until after the 2027–2031 tenure.
