Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman for the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, shared his perspective on the presidential aspirations of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate in the 2023 general elections.
Bwala stated on his X handle that Obi’s opportunity to become Nigerian president would likely arise in 2039, by which time he would be 79 years old or older.
Bwala explained that this timeline is contingent upon President Bola Tinubu completing two terms in office before power shifts back to the North for another eight years.
According to Bwala’s analysis, power would then return to the South in 2039.
He said, “Peter Obi only stands a chance to be Nigerian president from 2039 when he will be 79 years old or older.
“By then, his message would no longer be ‘vote for me because I am the younger of the candidates,’ but it will be ‘vote for me because age doesn’t matter, but capacity does.’”
He added, “The reason is Bola Ahmed Tinubu will finish his two terms, then power would come to the north for another eight 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.”
