The Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr Doyin Okupe has given reasons Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo must not attempt to run for the President’s office if anything happens to President Muhammad Buhari.
On why President Buhari will not resign, Okupe said the north are afraid of what played out during late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s time.

He noted that majority of people in the north felt they have been cheated when Jonathan was installed constitutionally after Yar’Adua’s death.

He told Tribune, “We do not tell each other the truth. The north is afraid; they have the deja vu feeling.

“Because of the situation of the health of President Buhari, they are afraid of the scenario of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua playing itself out again.

“They don’t want that. And nobody should, if they want peace for this country, envisage such.

“In this country, it may not be written in the constitution but once a southerner is president and completes his term, the next president will come from the north and vice versa.

It is an unwritten constitution that we politicians follow and we ought to honour and respect that arrangement.

“For instance, when you pick a Christian as president, automatically, his vice president would be a Muslim and vice versa.

“These are unwritten laws that we all have an abiding faith in but we had a situation whereby Yar’Adua had a promising eight-year tenure, which was the turn of the north, but he did two years and died and constitutionally, they installed Jonathan, a southerner.

“After completing Yar’Adua’s term, Jonathan, with the support of some of us, went ahead and contested an election, won and by so doing, deprived the north of their legitimate turn.

“All the problems that Jonathan had, including Boko Haram and the kidnap of the Chibok girls, coupled with all the abuses he got that he was clueless, all the difficulties he had in governance were a result of that action.

“The majority of the people in the north felt that they were being cheated and didn’t say anything. It is the same thing that we are facing now.

“People in the north are afraid that such scenario will play out again but they don’t want to talk about it.

“Many people in the south are gloating and wishing that acting President Osinbajo assumes the office or run for presidency after completing the first term with President Buhari.

“No, it can’t work. We cannot punish the north because of an unexpected development in the polity.

“If we have an agreement that this is how we should run our country, neither sickness nor death should cause a violation of that agreement.

“That is where the elites err; rather than talk about it, they want to be deceptive about it.

“The south is being pretentious that they don’t know that such an agreement exists, while the north wants to be deceitful that they have a special answer.

“This is a national problem that needs to be openly discussed by the leaders so as to move the country forward, instead of playing games. You don’t play games with the destiny of Nigerians.”

When it comes to Prof Osinbajo, you advise that he shouldn't contest 2019 elections. How I wish you had a clear vision in 2015, you would have told Oga Jonathan and mama Patience the same, instead you were blinded by greed, power and money. As a result of your misconstrued and unguided statements against men that made you become who you were back then, we not only saw a disgraced Doyin, but we also saw an Okupe lying on the ground begging Obasanjo for forgiveness.

Mere commissioner....

Super story

Story for the gods, Osinbajo is our President

Let us assume Buhari isn't running in 2019. PYO willingly refuses to contest, then a Northerner wins and govern until 2023.

The northerners that we know are power drunk. They believe they were/are born to rule. By that time, the north would have completed two tenures of 8years but the New President might feel he and not the north is entitled to another tenure. So at this point, who can wrestle power away from him?

The north felt bittered when Jonathan became President in 2011 and succesfully made governance difficult for him and trust me they'd do it again if they need to. So can the South do to the north in 2023 what they did to Jonathan in 2011 should the President in 2023 refuses to relinquish power to the south?

The answer is No because the southerners don't have it in them to go on killing spree of innocent people like the north did in the case of bokoharam and they know this about us. That simply means that in 2023, aboki might still govern until 2027 not forgetting the number of wasteful years of military rule by them prior to 1999.

Lord Lugard did no good to us at all.

Spare us that northern craps. Whose fault? They had their chance, rather than presenting someone who has the interest of the nation at hand, they were only interested in pushing their selfish agenda at all cost. What we don't grasp is that beyond physical manipulation and political manoeuvring, is what we call Divine arrangement and alteration.

You think what is happening to the north is coincidence? Its divine. Only the north know what they want to turn this nation to, and God on our behalf is intervening, and you're here attempting to thwart the will of God.

The Christians are praying. Until they desist from their grand plan, no member of that cabal will sit there and prevail.

For no longer shall the sceptre of wickedness rest upon the land allotted to the righteous. Says the Lord.

God has designed Nigeria to be great again, and only the anointed can survive that seat henceforth.

I don't care whether he is from north, south, east or west. I don't care whether he is Christian, Muslim or Atheist. All I know is that except he follow Gods design to make Nigeria what it should be, he/she will meet same faith. You'll be pulled out before your time.

The mouthpiece of the Yahweh has spoken.
