Everyone doing business, paying taxes in a state is doing the state a favour.
No governor in the south west can come out to say nonindigenes should leave their states and go to their states of origin to pay taxes, they are wiser than illiterates who don't know the meaning of revenue.

I will support a constitutional provision to rotate the presidency between the south and the north on an 8 years basis. It will reduce the ethno-religious dimension in our politics.

Basoj:
This would be achievable if we are using a single tenure. For instance if Tinubu loses next election (2027) to a Southern candidate Mr A, are we going to tell Mr A not to run for second term in 2031? .

Sometimes I wonder if the owner of this forum really understand the depth of hatred or tribal war that is going on in this his forum?

How will you allow our young men and women to use this beautiful forum that I use to cherish so much to stage and spread tribal war.

I am scared of the future of these young people and their children because I don't know what kind of messages that they will
be passingg to their children.


Please Seun try and curtail this problem

It is getting out of hand. We are all one irrespective of our tribe.

TheManPregnant:


Hmmm...

Or better still, let there be a constitutional provision for people to only be eligible to vote in their state of origin. This will help to allay the fears of a take over by another ethnic group in certain regions.

DeLaRue:
Before Primaries, he wrote that based on feelers from his contacts within Aso Rock and among Northern leaders, Tinubu's aspirations to win APC primaries would never happen.

After Tinubu won the primaries, he wrote that Tinubu was wasting his time and that all roads to any election success for him has been blocked.

After Tinubu's famous Emilokan speech, he wrote that the entire North was now totally against Tinubu and proclaimed that Tinubu was finished. Mr Kperogi hides his tribalism so well.

After Tinubu won the elections, he went quiet, no doubt embarrassed with himself.

Now, he is coming out trying to position himself as a detrabalised sensible writer genuinely concerned about Nigeria 's constitutional arrangements.

The man has been wrong time and again. His credibility is shot to pieces.

lereinter:


It could be fair, but 8 years is too much

I prefer a 5yr single tenure

Asswipemod:


Illusion of grandeur! I will do this, I will do that as if his opinion ever matters in the scheme of things. All he does is to forecast and align so that it would look like they took his advice. Megalomania on steroids!

Amah70:
Every Nigerian, including Bola Tinubu, knows that it's the turn of the Igbo in the SE to produce a president for Nigeria. Tinubu's it's my turn declaration is an insult to the Igbos.

ppogba:
Farooq the crook has found his voice again.

From Tinubu is not a Moslem to Tinubu cannot recite Suratul Fathia then to Tinubu does not know how to sit down when praying as a Moslem and finally to the North can not reject their own.

Oga, if you are reading this, please give Atiku the balance of his initial payment and give him a new receipt. Shior!.

Oghighirhighi:
Nigerians can never sit on a round table and frankly come out with any good resolution because the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis are in unholy alliance to milk us dry. The only way out would be when there is major crises and people pull apart, just maybe another Aburi can once and for all bring about a far-reaching settlement.

Taxes will only guarantee you the right to live, school, work, do business, healthcare and have access to other social amenities in the region you live in. Voting will only be allowed in your state of origin.

We need to completely kill the type of ethnic propaganda that was spurn up during the last elections. The opportunity for irresponsible political actors and their surrogates to push us to the brink should be totally cut off.

A proposed ammendment to the electoral act and other areas of the constitution that concerns the right to vote to reflect this might just come up during the next national assembly.

JAMO84:
The money they use to pay tax, where are they making it? They brought money from their villages?

JOemmy:


But states like lagos without any natural resources do collect monthly federal allocations from oil and gas so what is ur point.

MasterJayJay:

Taxes nko?

It is selfishness to take taxes from people and when it's time for politics, you remind them of their state of origin.

If you don't want non indigenes to vote, you should also stop collecting taxes from them.

Amah70:



Since 1999, rotation of the presidency between the north and the south has been in place and helped to save Nigeria's integrity.


But in 2023 when it's the turn of the Igbo, Atiku and Tinubu would not allow rotation. Atiku knew that the south would not permit his succeeding president Buhari. So Atiku came to contest merely to stop any possibility for an Igbo in PDP succeeding president Buhari.
Tinubu has Igbos who are presidrntial materials and who formed APC with him in APC during APC presidential primaries. But he didn't consider any Igbo worthy of presiding over Nigeria. In 1999, the PDP formed by an Igbo man enabled Obasanjo clinch Nigeria's presidential seat - because of consideration for zoning. Few Yorubas were in PDP then.
A cancer is about to be grown on the body of Nigeria if an Igbo is denied the presidential seat this time.

JagabanBorgu:

If Obi ran against Sullivan Chime, he will not Garner 500 votes even in his village, he is seasoned fàiluré who left his fàilûres as a govèrñór bèhînd and ran to Lagos, if he ran against a seasoned democrat like Sullivan Chime where they are both square on religîóus and ethnic grounds, Obi won't get 500 votes from the 6 geopolitical zones.
