Astark:
Can north even dare to rule beyond 2023? Dem wan die.

PDP are definitely going to field a Northern candidate but no chance of that happening in APC

amaridigital:


The Igbo's have demonize their few detribalized and popular politicians like Senator Okoracha. Prior to 2015 general election, Okorocha could easily contest in any SW state and perform brilliantly. That was before his people called him all sort of names. Tell me which Igbo politician is popular in the SW today? If Igbo can speak with one voice, present a popular candudate, forget the Biafran agitation because it is obvious the SS would rather prefer a Niger Delta Republic of their own to Biafra. Yoruba people will ditch a Tinubu predidential bid anytime anyday for a credible Igbo candidate because the people are known for their sense of justice and fairness. The hate campaign among southerners must stop.

Okorocha, demonize himself with his corruption, nepotism and incompetence. You are correct that the Igbo's haven't got a politician with National appeal, outside Okorocha and Peter Obi.

ZzZzzzzzzzzzzzz:
why can't the south east come together and form their own party. Or don't they have the strength and unity?
You people said APC is the party of almanjiri, Demonic party, and all sort of names... Then you wrote an application letter to Buhari... Ehen.

Even PDP did not consider the South East for presidential position and you guyies did not bat an eye...

It's not a must that a particular section of the country must rule abeg... Let's all live in peace and harmony

It is not a must that power should come South

"ALLOW" Is something else who hold the power to allow or not to allow?
It would have made sense without any undertone, to have said that it's only logical for the South to rule.

To me, who is ruling is not the issue.

The issue is that electorates goes to sleep and allow politicians steal with reckless abandon.

If we hold politicians accountable, they will reduce their stealing and work more.

Political offices are seen now as easy way out of poverty instead of serving the public.

Just go and amass wealth, that is all. No focus, no vision, no ideas, no set targets to be achieved.

Corruption has eaten deep into our system.

I will vote Igbo if presented by PDP, tho I know it's not possible but I'll support them to have the ticket.

To my Igbo friends and family, please forget about APC given ticket to Igbo, it's no going area. As you never deserved it.

Peace...

jacksonkennedy:
I'm yoruba and I am saner than you obviously and I will vote a good Igbo if they present one

Good Igbo candidates like Allen Onyema, charlse Soludo , Ngozi Okonjo Iweala can be adopted and voted for so that peace can reign

sulaak:

What country base the president on race, colour and tribe?

Sometime you should read very well before commenting, my point is anywhere democracy is practiced, race, tribe and colour is not far from the argument! Take a look at Obama, when he came out, every black man supported him its just the human thing to do, so yeah! When Donald trump came out they he didn't get the same acceptance as Obama, its not hatred or any inconceivable argument its just human.

LabDNA:
Yes it is only logical to go to South East since the North and SW have had their turns.

I support the oscillation between SOUTH and NORTH

Whoever picks it in the region does not concern me.

Yaradua and Buhari are from North West, yet North East and North Central are not complaining, so whichever zone produce the next candidate, the other two MUST not complain.

emerged01:

I don’t worry myself on issue of north holding unto power in 2023 because I know it will not happen. north won’t like to see Nigeria breaking into six regions,I believe they will avoid anything than can result to that.

North will rule again in 2023 and nothing absolutely nothing will happen.Story for the gods

If the power cannot rotate between the southern regions then it better remain in the North

That's why I used question mark's -??- So NE is left out of the equation then....? . ..or you have any excuse for NE who are predominantly Kanuri?

I thought that Abacha, whom barawo bubu looted us with, is Kanuri?
Bauchi, where Tafawa Balewa was from is also in the north east.

Gamsu Abacha is making good of her family's legacy and popular motto of "no matter how poor they are, they will never be as poor as Dangote", Sagesse Gumsu, we get the drift, with a plate of meal like that? we dont see how you can be as poor as Dangote

Well Zik was the president not Balewa as we were not practicing unicameral system. But it is all good. In that case, all the regions have ruled.

11 million voters which is almost 50% of the total voter population voted for a ticket with Peter Obi on it to your chagrin, he even defeated osibanjo in his polling unit in Lagos. Well meaning Nigerians willl do so again so that you can writhe in pains and die of your toxic emotions and hate.

Confirmed mumu,You are comparing the voting strength of osinbajo as APC presidential candidate with VP,it is quite different.If osinabjo is on ballot as President PDP won't get 500K votes in SW.

Danwakae:


Na u go die


Can the South, mostly the southwest dare to contest in 2023 ....Dem go die...banza!!!

una wan die? Which of the northern ethnic group will dare to contest? Is it kanuri, Hausa, igala, berom, Fulani? Which one na?

2023 is pure Yoruba presidency, any breach of agreement will make useless northern region to beg, you people don't have port, resources, and everything that will make a nation survice, the only important region in Nigeria is South west and south south.

I know northern leaders aren't stupid to try such nonsense

*Shehu Sani It’s Only Logical To Allow The South To Rule In 2023

*Shehu Sani warns North against holding onto to power beyond 2023

Northern political leaders have been warned to resist the temptation of holding on to the nation’s Presidency beyond 2023 as such political adventure would be a recipe for chaos and crisis capable of threatening the unity of the country.

Sounding the warning during an exclusive interview with The Nation in Abuja, Senator Shehu Sani said since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power with the support of the south and on the principle of rotation of power, it is only logical for the north to reciprocate the gesture by allowing the south to have the Presidency in 2023.

He said northern leaders who had been organising meetings to sell the idea of north holding on to power beyond 2023 should have a re-think and place the unity and interests of Nigeria above personnal interests.

Sani said: “The concept of rotation of power is simply to give every section of the country the opportunity and ability to feel that yes, we are equal stakeholders in the enterprise called Nigeria. If one part of the country now continue to dominate the political sphere, they can take the mantle of leadership, but they will not be able to have the peace to preside over the affairs of the country forever”.

” But my position on this is that President Muhammadu Buhari came to power with the support of the south. It would be logical enough that we understand the diversities of Nigeria, and the need to always balance our own personal interests and agenda with the need to sustain the unity, peace and orderliness of the country” Senator Sani who was a member of the 8th National Assembly from Kaduna Central Zone added.

Senator Sani further said: ” A lot of meetings are going on in the north today, and I can tell you that they are gaining traction. And part of the reasons for some of them who told me was that they believe that this government has served more people in the south than it has served people in the north.

“So that is the argument which many of them have given and you see sometimes words have life, if a prominent northerner who is well respected now averred that we are not going to respect the principle of rotation of power and the north will continue to have it forever, if you do not have a strong counter argument on that, it will settle in the minds of the people.

“So as far as I am concerned, there is the need for northern and southern leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and politicians need to come together and discuss Nigeria. Where do we head from here?

” Governance is such a serious business that you should not leave it to politicians alone to decide. I think it is ideal, for instance, what stops the leaders of Afenifere, and Ohaneze visiting Ango Abdullahi in his house in Zaria and discuss with him.

“What stops the leaders from the north moving to Chief E K Clark house in Abuja or down there in the south-south to discuss with him. These are issues that I believe we should resolve. But we should understand that if one part of the country is not prepared to rotate power to another part of the country, we are simply setting a road map to chaos and crisis in Nigeria”.

He said it is also possible for the south to lose out if political leaders from the region are not united and if the lack of coordination in the major political parties persist, warning that the northern political establishment could also take advantage of the unpreparedness of southern leaders to hold on to power beyond 2023.

Senator Sani advised President Muhammadu Buhari to overhaul the nation’s security architecture by appointing new Service Chiefs to build on the foundations laid by the present ones, stressing that new ideas and initiatives would add the needed impetus to the fight against Boko Haram, kidnappers, bandits and armed robbers in the country.

He said it is disheartening that governors are now negotiating with bandits for peace to reign in the north-west of the country, regretting that bandits and kidnappers have taken over scores of villages in Katsina, Kaduna and Niger states, with thousands of villagers migrating to cities and towns for safety.

He advised northern states governors to hold a regional security conference and develop a blue print that would be used to address the multi-faceted security challenges facing the region, saying time has come for them to borrow a leaf from South-east and south-west leaders who have responded to the security challenges in their regions with workable strategy.

He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to review the closure of borders considering the soaring prices of food items across the country, warning that the economy of the country should not be reduced to rice alone.

He said” the last time we heard about exporting yam to Europe, it became a failure, now it is about preserving rice. For goodness sake how would a country has no issue to discuss about order than rice.

“Agriculture should be about export of cash crops, agriculture should be about production of varieties of crops, agriculture should be about providing incentives to farmers, and if possible setting up state farms and connecting agriculture to industries”

I hope POWER HUNGRY Nasir El Rufai current governor of Kaduna state is following what his fellow northern brother, Senator Shehu Sani is saying.

ignore that 19yrs old boy


isolated politics Igbo are playing are the reason why they're behind in national politics. when they present credible candidate and play liberal politics, all Nigerians won't have any choice but to support the candidate


they must come out to contest for it, it's their right

Andhominem:


I know. It's a rhetorical question to let them appreciate their inferior status in the country.

Yorubas will never be afraid of confronting the northerners in an election no matter how high the prospect of losing. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. And we are never afraid of being in opposition.

The civil war defeat really damaged their psyche.

They are just so scared of taking political risks...

be fair for once...why didn't we present a candidate against GEJ. Why did we back a northerner?

Since you will not support an igbo Presidential candidate please support Biafra

Why should the SE rule? What have they done to demonstrate that the next leaders must come from the SE.

OBJ wasn't supported by the Yoruba and canot be called a Yoruba leader. The next president should be based on merit and accomplishment

Then he can come from any part of Nigeria

It's either the SE or no rotation

Who are the 'we'? Stop denying Ur tribe.

jacksonkennedy:

Because the north was yet to complete its full 8-year tenure and GEJ was sitting president.

That will most likely not be the case in 2023.

First learn how to quote before insult people.

sparko1:


This is democracy not meritocracy!, and yeah religion and tribe must be put into consideration, democracy is the game of numbers, even if you say merit and competence be the prerequisite for choosing who the leader is, are you saying no competent person in the whole of a tribe or region!

Even if advance countries, tribe, colour, race or whatever you call it is still a determinate so yeah! there should be and agreement for rotation.

You're right.
Unfortunately it isn't working for Nigeria.
The whites who we are following didn't start of with democracy in their own country. USA for example established a working structure for Democracy to thrive.

Democracy is one of the most sensitive form of government in the wrong hands. And our politicians presently are absolutely wrong hands.

They've managed to create a constitution that insulates them from the law and also oppress the masses.

But I believe, hope is being restored.
