I like Moghalu, Sowore, Durotoye. I think all three men are capable of doing a much better job as president of Nigeria than Buhari or Atiku.

But I have to face reality, neither if these 3 men has any chance of being President of Nigeria for at least 30 years.

The reason is Northern Nigeria. For a person to become President of Nigeria, they must win some states in the North. Even if one wins all the states in the South, but none in the North, that person would not have scored the two thirds majority of states required by the constitution

The most important thing to the North is keeping political control of Nigeria, either by themselves or by proxy.

So no matter how well intentioned Moghalu, Durotoye or Sowore are, just the fact that they are Southerners has disqualified them in the eyes of the North

After 8 years of power being in the North, it rotates back to the South and the North will again pick a Southerner who best represents their interests, just like they did with Obasunjo.

Of course, young progressives like Moghalu, Durotoye and Sowore will never agree to represent Northern interests, rather, they would pursue national interests, which is why they won't ever get Northern support. It will take 30 years of generational shift before the North starts thinking that national interests is above sectional interests and that's only when Moghalu, Durotoye or Sowore will have a chance
