USING THE ONYEJI'S THEOREM TO DETERMINE NIGERIA'S NEXT PRESIDENT

The Onyeji's Theorem states that the determination of Nigeria's successive President, the appropriate Age and Length of Tenure(years) in office is a function of Religion, Ethnicity, Region and State in the order stated.

Using the Onyeji's Theorem, we can deduced from the graph showing "Past and Present Heads of Government Ages: When they entered office and duration in office" that the Appropriate age for a prospective presidential candidate to take up the leadership role is 50years while the tenure in office should not be more than 4years. These values are as a result of the averages of there respective total ages of past and present heads of government and duration of tenure in office.

On 25th May, 2019, President Muhammudu Buhari will be 76years, 5months 12days Old which is 26yrs, 5months and 12days above the ideal age postulated by the theory.

Based on Ethnicity, from the chart enumerated, the igbo ethnic tribe has completed 0.48 years(less than 6months) in power while the Yoruba tribe have completed 11.87 years (almost 12 years). Hausa-Nupe - 0.97 years, Hausa-Kanuri - 4.56 years, Hausa-Sefewa - 5.30 years, Hausa-Gwari - 8 years, while the Hausa-fulani tribe has completed 11.76 years currently, if President Muhammudu Buhari should complete his tenure, the Hausa-fulani tribe would have had 12.85 years in power.

In North-West region for example out of 7 states, only 3 states has lead the country. They are katsina - 8.60 years (over 64%), Sokoto - 4.25 years (less 32%) and Kano - 0.55 years (4%). Katsina State has had the opportunity to be in the helms of affairs thrice, Sokoto and Kano each had only once. In the South-West region, out of 6 states only 2 states, Ogun - 11.64 years and Lagos - 0.23 years have tested power in that region by two(2) presidents.

Going by the statistics, we need not debate where the next President come 2019 Presidential Election should come from in the spirit of fairness and equity.

The Onyeji's Theorem was statistically developed based on empirical facts and figures to help formulate an approved standards of determining the religion, ethnicity, region and state the next president peculiar to Nigeria system should be elected in the spirit of fairness and equity.
