If the president cannot continue to govern due to ill health, or if it is medically certain he can't complete his tenure, the entire problem and sentiments surrounding how to have a northerner replace Buhari can be solved by Buhari himself. All the talk about Osinbanjo contesting in 2019 or not to give the north a chance can be settled by Buhari himself if the interest of the country is put first.

This is what I think the president and the vice president should do.

Osinbanjo should resign. Buhari should pick a northerner whom he trusts and has the confidence of the north as VP. Then within days Buhari should resign whether now or towards 2019 if he's sure of not contesting. Then the northern VP becomes president and chooses Osinbanjo as his VP. Thus, life continues like nothing ever happened. The northerner can contest in 2019 and 2023 and Osinbanjo will finally replace him in 2026.

It needs men who are ready to put the interest of the country first and are ready to Stabilize the polity.

this op got no brains

If this arrangement will see the light of the day,

I have a strong feeling we may have President Buhari choose Magu and Osinbanjo or Daura and Osinbanjo.

You can give your suggestions too!

Give your own opinion instead of insulting me.

This is not sensible.

You believe that politicians keep their words?

Weldone OP. You've suggested a beautiful nonsense.
Beautiful because in your child-like, innocent mind, you believed that would stabilize the polity.
Nonsense because your naivety was displayed by not knowing that such move would rather hit up the polity.
No offence, though.

Not an issue of keeping word. The crucial part is for the VP to resign first. Since the president is seen as a man of integrity, then he's appointing someone he trusts who will reappoint Osinbanjo. Both Osinbanjo and the north will have themselves preserved.

Thank you sir.

It is understandable why some wouldn't love this idea. They prefer chaos in the event the president can't continue till 2023.
