The Sun reported that Senator Shehu Sani, a human rights activist and social affairs analyst stated this in an exclusive interview.
Atiku Abubakar, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President of the federal republic of Nigeria contested and lost the last presidential election to the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Senator Shehu Sani, who is known for his outspokenness said; "if at this juncture, the North is thinking of taking over power in 2027, then, it is going to unsettle Nigeria’s political calculation. And the North will have a clean slate after the South has finished their eight years in power and it is in the interest of the North to say that we have waited behind"
He added; "The North voted for Obasanjo and when Obasanjo was going, he returned power to Northern Nigeria and the attempt to breach the rotation formula in 2015, caused the PDP to be out of power."
He stated further; "I believe that Atiku can be president, but it is after South has finished their eight years."
The recent statement by the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Senator Shehu Sani, which was shared by The Sun on its verified Twitter page has generated a lot of reactions from many Nigerians on the social media platform.
