Officials of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration are bent on getting their principal re-elected for a second term in office not minding whatever channel is used.

One of such channels is the claims by top officials of the administration that Buhari will handover to two geo-political zones if they vote en masse to return the president for a second term.

Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President; Boss Mustapha, Secretary to Government of the Federation; Babatunde Fashola, Power Minister and Chris Ngige, Labour Minister are some of Buhari’s men who have openly made the claim.

While Messrs Osinbajo and Fashola keep narrating repeatedly that the president will hand over power to the South West geo-political zone, Mustapha and Ngige on the other hand says the Nigerian leader will look the way of the South East on completion of his second term in office.

The promise POLITICS TIMES gathered is aimed at getting the two zones to vote en bloc for Buhari who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, (APC).

It is also aimed at shattering the votes the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, will gain from the areas having picked his running mate from the South East and promised the South West the restructuring the zone has been clamouring for.

“The 2019 general elections is our own. We are not looking at the 2019 but 2023,” Osinbajo said.

“If we get it in 2019, Yoruba will get it in 2023. Because if we don’t get it in 2019, we may not get it in 2023 and it may take a very long time to get it,” the number two citizen said on Saturday at the palace of Lamidi Adeyemi 111, the Alaafin of Oyo.

For Mustapha, the shortest route to producing a president of Igbo extraction is by supporting and voting for APC in 2019.

The Igbo are citizens of the South East and the region has not produced a president since the return to civilian rule in 1999.

While the South West gave their full support to Buhari in 2015, the South East went for the PDP, a repeat of that is likely to happen again given the fact that tribalism goes a long way in Nigerian politics.

“This man (Buhari) has only one term (four years) to do and go home, and an Igboman will replace him. But if you leave this shortest route and take a gamble, you are on your own,” Ngige said while addressing news men in Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

“If Igbo refuse to play their cards right in next year’s general elections, the South-West will take away the chance from them.

“They will produce the next president after Buhari, because the zone has shown demonstrable commitment to Buhari’s cause.

“My good friend Babatunde Fashola has blown the whistle. What he said should be a warning signal to the Igbo, because you can’t stop the South-West from producing the next president of the country after supporting Buhari and the APC government.

“That is why I’m telling our people now to come out en masse in next year’s election and vote for Buhari, so that nothing will stop you from succeeding him in 2023,” the minister added.

He further described the vice-presidential slot given to the Igbo by the PDP as a “mere spare tyre that might be used for over six years”.

POLITICS TIMES predicts that given the support the APC and the president have enjoyed from the South West since 2013 when the ruling party was formed, the South East will likely not clinch the 2023 presidential ticket of party even if the people of the zone vote for en-masse for the Buhari in 2019.

Already, Bola Tinubu, national leader of the APC, is said to be warming up to take over from the president.

Since it was made known by Bukola Saraki, Senate President, the former Lagos State governor has not denied the allegation.

Buhari is playing the regional and tribal cards because there’s no suitable description for his government’s colossal failure with leadership and economic management

Scam code. If you know you know.

Typical fraudulent govt that can't win by policies or truth

Since the SE has no military leg to stand why not try politics?at least more goods would be delivered to the SE.note that..both north and south west are in one direction..

We intended to hand over to the S/East in 2023 but they rejected our offer...and instead accepted Atiku's offer of lies and deceit...

Now we have decided to give it to either Osinbade or Fashola from S/west in 2023 to continue the good work, you are complaining

What they're saying is that they have won 2019 elections even though we are still in 2018, they are sure that God cannot do a plot twist on their plans and that Igbos should beg and lick Buhari/ Jubril's boots to be considered over the confirmed bootlickers and that South-South, middle belt or any other peoples or regions of Nigeria should not even vie for the post even if "over qualified dey worry dem". Shiiiiiithole mehn

The best decision is to deny him second term ticket

So buhari now determines who rules.. Smh

Sometimes even butterflies consider its self a bird.

God forbid I vote nepotism, cluelessness and incompetency because of a rotational presidency.Another four years of Buhari means there will be no SE/SW to take over when the time comes.

Yes, any region with the highest number of votes for Buhari in 2019 will produce the president in 2023. Politics is investment. You invest and reap your investment. If you invest 5% votes, you will reap 5% appointment and 5% infrastructure.

Yorubas invested their votes in 2015 and now Lagos-Ibadan Railway is 95% completed, Lagos-Ibadan expressway is about 70% completed, Oyo-Ogbomoso expressway which PDP abandoned is currently being constructed.

That's the manipulating style of Tyrants in Power....

Mallam don de learn fraud

Jibrin Al Sudan you are a bastard

Useless youth everywhere, one id.ot took his time to wrote this crap for blame game and wanting people to abuse the govt. There is no other senseless youth in the world than Nigeria youth, no direction, no focus , no future and no hope, the only hope they have is during elections to sell their future for 10k and they will come to Nairaland and side one government and write fake news.

Nigeria Youth are the one crying for job everywhere and they are the same people that will tell us to vote party A or B, their new song is now Atikulate or 4 + 4 forgetting that these are the same set of people that ruined Nigeria, many of these useless leaders has private biz abroad one of them even brought Mikano to Nigeria and the same man want to be president pls tell me if power Situation in Nigeria will improve under his administration, the current president is ready to die there without any economic sense.

Nigeria youth are shameless, current French President and Canadian president are under the age of 40 and we want to live like citizens of those countries. No one is asking questions, Nnamdi Kanu may be doing the right things in wrong way but we need more of him, sowore may be small with not supporters but we need people like him. We are here celebrating useless people as leaders, We are leaving in an insane conditions and environment yet we pretend it be okay. Nigeria youth are the problem of Nigeria.

God will punish any youth that will quote me without thinking first

The Op has a typical below jack IQ, just like every other wailer. Is it government that awards presidency?

That Shows u How They have Governed Nigeria...
Lies Extravaganza!!

ALRIGHT.
We will cross the bridge when we get there.
Right now , all hands on deck for SAI BABA!
That is all that matters at the moment!

that is a nice thing to do.

Buhari's actions and that of his cohorts is like that of a drowning man...they are clutching at straws

NIGERIA : The land of generals without war, professors without discovery, politicians without ideology, wealth without prosperity, religion without piety, leaders without vision, the oppressed without worries, courts without justice, criminals without fears, history without glory, heroes without honor, schools without learning, artists without taste, intellectuals without thought, terrorists without identity, appointees without life, hunger without famine, change without progress, next level without foundation, democracy without citizens, unity without love, heroes without sacrifice, policies without plans, crime without culprits, saints without humility, integrity without performance, wars without enemies, billionaires without business, youth without dreams, elders without wisdom
I weep for Nigeria!!

Isn't that an attribute of Devil, the father of liars? I don't really blame APC and Buhari anyway. I only blame the Igbos and Yorubas for always disagreeing politically.

The day we agree politically is the day we set ourselves free from the internal colonial masters.

Many states in the middle belt would rather identify with the South only if they saw unity amongst us. The unity of the north east and north west is what they use to pull the north central to themselves at anytime. And North Central will always do that for as long as they can't find such in the south.

What do you expect from a government that rode on the back of lies and fake promises to power? They definitely need more lies and fake promises to remain in power.

Dix country is just so funny...

All those zoning presidency should remember that south south has not finished her terms. Period.
