Atiku’s win will end power rotation – Sani

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has expressed his belief that an Atiku Abubakar victory in the 2027 presidential election would effectively end the informal principle of rotational presidency in Nigeria. Sani stated that while Atiku has the constitutional right to contest the election, political considerations around power rotation should guide the 2027 contest.

He argued that the South should be allowed to complete an eight-year presidential tenure before power returns to the North, citing fairness, equity and national unity as reasons for this stance.
