Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress has stated that President Bola Tinubu will rule till 2031.

This is as he urged those aspiring for the presidency in 2027 to perish the thought.

This comes amid speculations that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, are teaming up to sack President Bola Tinubu in the coming election.

A post shared by Igbokwe on his official Facebook page warned those nursing presidential ambitions to desist, stating that Tinubu would remain Nigeria’s president until 2031.

According to Igbokwe, the president needs a second term to enable him to “set the records straight.”

He wrote: “If any presidential aspirant is dreaming of winning presidential elections in 2027, I will advise that candidate to perish the thought till 2031.
