2023: Northern Elders Take On Southern Governors, Reject Power Shift
Say North will continue to lead Nigeria |

Stop self-help in VAT war to avoid anarchy, ACF warns

No region can solve own problems alone – Lawan

Ahead of the 2023 general election, some elders in the North have said the region will not give up the presidency to the South, insisting that the region will continue to rule Nigeria.

This seems to be a response to the demand by the Southern Governors’ Forum that presidential power must return to the South at the expiry of the eight-year two-term tenure of President Muhamamdu Buhari in 2023, in the spirit of power rotation, equity and fair play.

LEADERSHIP reports that since the return of civil rule in 1999, power has traditional moved between the South and North. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (South) handed over to the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua (North), who died in office. Dr Good luck Jonathan (South), who was Yar’Adua’s deputy, took the seat until he yielded it to Muhammadu Buhari (North) after the 2015 general election.

On Thursday, the Southern governors had risen from their meeting in Enugu to repeat their call for the president to revert to the South in 2023, just as they threw their weight behind the collection of VAT by state governments, among other resolutions.

However, the spokesperson of one of the groups in the region, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, yesterday said the North was not for sale and that Northerners are not second-class citizens of Nigeria, as such the region will not accept to play second fiddle when the region has the population to vie for the top political position and win.

Dr. Baba-Ahmed stated this at the weekend at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria while delivering the keynote address at the inaugural edition of Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series organised by the students wing of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG).

While urging the students to be proud of who they are as Northerners, he also challenged them not to accept being treated as second-class citizens in their own country.

Speaking about the 2023 general elections and the agitations for power shift to the South, Baba-Ahmed said the heavens will not fall if a northerner is again elected the next president of Nigeria.

He stated further that the North was not for sale and that Northerners will surprise those waiting for them to queue up in 2023 and be given money in exchange for their votes, adding that anyone who does not want a northerner as president should leave the country if one emerges.

It is a big offense called, SELFISHNESS . Even in Federal character commission or what is it called. The other day, north still presented 2 northerners as number 1 and number 2. Federal character still without federal character. Truly, north no get sense at all.

If the yorubas hadn't been shortsighted and fallen for northern gimmicks we wouldn't be here by now.

2015 presented an opportunity to put the foolanis in their proper place and/or dissolve nigeria but the yorubas blew it because of short term greed. Let that be on record.

So the south should clap back.

Good

I wonder how some overfed idiots would sit and demand for presidency for the south, worse when they've not really done anything for the people who elected them.

Rotation is not in our constitution.

Democracy is about numbers, may the majority carry the vote whoever they are, even if it's the south.

The fulani north will be day dreaming if they still think the people of the middle belt that they have been massacring will support them in any coming major conflict.

I was thinking this way before. But reasoning it carefully, you will see that the kind of characters from the South East that will get the position if the North decides to give it to them,, would be very useless idiots like Hope Uzodinjo, the Ebonyi monkey - umawhatever and such. They would fearfully serve the North, even with presidential power, and we so-called South Easterners would gain nothing.

I prefer Osibanjo or even Tinubu himself, to be president than the Imo maggots (whether Uzodinjo or Rochas) or the Ebonyi Uma-monkey. That's for sure.

If they will give it to a man like Peter Obi, then now you're talking. But they would not. So I'm not interested in an Igbo Presidency of servile, North-worshipping, personal ambition blinded idiots like Hope or Umahi.
