With the way Boko Haram is destroying town after town unchallenged, it's now obvious that only a southern president can deal with the situation without so much sentiments. Imagine Obasanjo in charge and you expect Sambisa to be a habitable place for anyone including Shekau by now? Not possible

Seems reasonable

Your enemies would still not be satisfied with your statement. Just read their comments and realize that you can never please human being. The best you can do is to try and leave the rest for posterity.

Tinubu himself wouldn't like this comment of yours.

Mraphel:

Yes o


And it will pain the almajiri loving ipods yoot

Are you sure these are words of Gov. El-rufai

Politics is the most unpredictable game.

daddytime:
Lol....politics.

If I can't have it, let's do a sell-out while I get a VP slot in preparation for 2031.

I too like short people.

Angling for vice president
Shoot for the stars initially, if e no click you go hit moon

Voting the same corrupt set if thieves again.

Same APC/PDP

We dont ever learn in this country

Smh

No be wen we still get ''country'' in 2023.

They keep hiding their heads the way ostrichs do on our current problems only to be planning for another election.

Goldencheese:
Ok. So that the southerner can be tasked with rebuilding Nigeria where Buhari failed woefully?

OK o.

Would you prefer something different?

StrikeBack:
Voting the same corrupt set if thieves again.

Same APC/PDP

We dont ever learn in this country

Why not offer yourself for public office?

Sirjamo:
If not for some people who do not understand politics, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. We told them to vote vote for Buhari, even if they hate him, it's just four more years and he would be gone for good; by now, we would just be waiting for for them to present a consensus candidate.

this is a very silly thing to say. You people that understand politics is the reason why we keep getting bad leaders.
How can you blackmail some people into voting a candidate that doesn't represent their progressive ideals?

Some sophisticated mor,ons should ask themselves if Nigeria has progressed in the last 5 years

Too many idiots on Nairaland.

In whose interest do you oppose or even poopoo El-Rufai's suggestion?

Do you really want a country of peace or does the constant bickering give you a hard on?

Goldencheese:
Ok. So that the southerner can be tasked with rebuilding Nigeria where Buhari failed woefully?

OK o.

Forget that.
The midget is only trying to slow down the southern agitation for a reshuffling of the geographical area called Nigeria.

we should concentrate on WHO will deliver. not WHERE will deliver.. El Rufai 2023.

North & South power zoning have been useless because the politicians have continued to speak one voice regardless of where they come from. There is no designed system yet that favours the growth & development of the country.

How is that good?.. Voting for someone you don't like?.. Can you marry someone you hate?

Our politics is too expensive to get the right kind of leaders in, and the Nation has grown poorer to even enable that in the closest future..

Solution:
Enact into the constitution a point based election system, the higher a voters educational level, the higher your number of vote alongside the zoning dichotomy between the North and South still in place.

Primary school cert and below - 1 vote.
Secondary School cert - 2 votes.
Graduate - 3 votes.

Benefits:
- You encourage education 100%, which brings about innovations, ideas and problem solving..
- The chances of the right candidate increases at a very high percentage.
- You encourage birth control on quality not quantity..
- You give more voting power to the educated..
- You discourage vote buying aswell..
- The politicians would begin to seek integrity over popularity..
- the purpose of populating to win elections would be gone..
- 4 graduate votes would equal 12 primary school cert holder votes.

We really need to start thinking outside the box

This sounds very great but the current supposed educated ones are becoming worse in action over the uneducated due to greed & the system that favours the thugs that the politicians have created over the years to gain control in the name of religion, ethnicity, gratification, etc. That is why you still see some hungry, unemployed & supposed educated one defending a wicked policies & failures of government in this forum.

I don't see the country getting things right anytime soon at least not in the next 100 years. This is because it is presently divided against itself "politicians vs the people". Though the politicians hide under several useless lines. "Religion, ethnic, etc to always achieve their aims". The country has never had a common enemy that will force everyone to fight for a common good as one hence the divides. The cheap independent gotten without a fight didn't help matters that would have created the nationality for the country. The only thing left now is hunger & insecurity but the people has been distracted hence they don't see it as a common enemy.

Na professors dey make country better

Somebody is truly eyeing the VP position

But Osinbajo/Zulum is the best combo ever .. Double Prof

erufai did not mention voting, he said in the spirit of equity and fairness power should go back to south, u insult others but the genesis of the problem is from lots like u,if u say the north should not have it the second time based on the spirit of equity and fairness, and u know the igbos has not had a share of it and u here campaigning for the west to have it again who are u?are not promoting injustice in ur own little way?there should be a country built on equity and fairness not on voting patterns, u are a young man always stand on the part of justice which ever divide u belong to ,injustice to one is a treat to justice to many.

Someone must rule ,it isn't as bad as u think.

No south west president in 2023, no Nigeria!!!!

Where are the piggiiiddiiioootts

What a disappointing statement coming from their aboooki masters...

Some of them are still trying hard to fathom it...

Psady:

Psady, the indices are very bad. Nigeria is surrounded by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists. Nigeria's economy is on its knees. Our armed forces are compromised ditto our institutions. The judiciary is compromised. Poverty stares Nigeria in the face. The political leadership doesn't care because if it does, it could have done something about the mayhem being inflicted on Nigerians by roguish Fulani herders. I can go on and on.

The North can have the 2023 presidency, the south are not ready nor united, to much snakes,betrayals, hates and snitches in the south...
El rufai words are political, strategic and diplomatic doesnt mean he is backing down.. if you know you know..

In that case u will start seeing criminals and clueless northerners start parading fake professor degrees from Oxford Cambridge and havard

seunmsg:


Power will return to the south in 2023 because it’s the right thing to do in the interest of the country. I know some of you are really pained but there is nothing you can do about it.

if is coming to south, it should go to south east, stop using the word south,their is no togetherness in ur statement, if u are using the word south promote yuroba presidency desist from it ,I know u are banking on based on the way u voted for apc, erufai did not mention voting pattern but based on equity and fairness, the south east should have it.

I am sensing that El-rufai has been promised with a VP slot by Tinubu

NYSC certificates alongside degree certificates would greatly dismiss that..

It is not 'blackmail', it is bn politically wise/smart.

You wouldn't get a chance to implement your beautiful 'progressive ideas' if you don't manouvre your way to power. Politics is about bn smart. Even in the biggest democracies in the world....go checkout what's happening in America.
