Tinubu will rule Nigeria until 2031 and then pass it off to the northerners – Joe Igbokwe

The president-elect, Bola Tinubu, will rule Nigeria until 2031, at which point a northerner would take over and lead the nation until 2039, according to Joe Igbokwe, special adviser to the governor of Lagos State on drainage.

Igbokwe, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress, or APC, made this remark in response to a comment on a Facebook post he had published.

A post on the website of the governor’s special adviser, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says that Igbos who live in Lagos should back the governor’s bid for a second term.

The president-elect and former governor of the state, according to him, had backed well-known Igbo businesses in Lagos, saying that supporting Sanwo-Olu would be a way for them to repay Tinubu for his kindness over the years.

“President-Elect ASIWAJU BAT is a wonderful friend of the Igbo, and he has done his best for famous Igbo businessmen and women in Lagos, including myself,” the candidate added.

It’s time to make amends, so on March 18, we should vote en masse for Gov. Sanwoo Olu.

Nevertheless, a follower named Ejike Akunna flooded the comment section to mock the APC leader in what appeared to be disagreement with Igbokwe’s statement.

“Slay him your wife and girls and enthrone him as your household deity,” Ejike wrote. It will suffice as payment.

Igbokwe, incensed by Ejike’s remark, said that Asiwaju will control the nation for eight years before handing power to a northerner, shutting out the prospect of an Igbo president notwithstanding the wrath and hostility directed at Tinubu by Southeast citizens.

In response, he wrote, “When I observe the amount of reprehensible insults and name-calling emanating from South East youth, I flee with the idea that we did not execute our duty as parents. I am completely covered with shame.

“Mark my words: Asiwaju from 2023 to 2031 and another Northerner from 2031 to 2039. Ejike Akunna Jisieike Life will continue on, and we will still be offspring of rage and hatred. We will observe because we refrained from engaging in political games. Dazzol!!!”
