Presidency 2023 : I Support Power Shift To The South In 2023 - Gov. El-rufai by Wisdomkosi(m): 11:51am On Aug 08, 2020 |
Presidency 2023 : I Support Power Shift to the South in 2023 - Gov. el-Rufai Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State has said that Nigeria’s next president in 2023 should emerge from the southern part of the country. Governor El-Rufai said this on Saturday in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service monitored by IGBERE TV. “The southern part of the country is supposed to produce the president come 2023; I don’t support a northerner to vie for the seat after President Muhammadu Buhari, based on Nigeria’s political arrangement,” Mr El-Rufai said. His remarks came over a week after President Buhari’s influential nephew, Mamman Daura, said he was against zoning of the presidency. Mr Daura’s comment was criticised by political groups and leaders in the South, who expect that based on the unwritten zoning arrangement, power will go to the region after Mr Buhari’s tenure ends in 2023. The president is a native of Katsina, in the north-west. Mr El-Rufai said although the power shift arrangement among the various regions of the country is unconstitutional, it is, however, a political design that must be respected. “I believe that (there is) no developed country across the world that considers leadership based on where someone comes from. However, in Nigerian politics, there is an arrangement that we all believe on rotational leadership. We are aware of that, anyone who denies that is wrong,” the governor said. Mr El-Rufai said although he supports power rotation at the national level, he was against a similar arrangement in Kaduna where he is governor. “In Kaduna, I don’t work with people because they came from a particular zone, rather, I work with you based on your capacity to deliver on a task given to you and your ability to keep public trust,” Mr El-Rufai said. The governor also debunked the speculation that he is aspiring for the presidency, saying the speculation has been there for a while from the time he was a minister of the FCT. “It is a baseless speculation. I don’t want to be president; only God decides someone’s future whether you like it or not, I have never shown interest for the presidency.” STAY WITH IGBERE TV. AFRICA'S NO1 COMMUNITY TV.

Before buhari won the election in 2015, he said he will rule for only one term, that's 4 years. Fast forward to 2019, he said 4+4. Believe these people at your detriments. 1 Like |

The plan us Amachi/ El Rufai in 2023. The north would see that as given the Igbo the presidency. Many Igbos would claim Amachi is not igbo. Would be interesting to see if Kanu and his ilk would deny Amachi is Igbo while also claiming Rivers as part of Biafra. 5 Likes |

UNTIL APREC-AUTONOMOUS POLICING RESOURCING AND ELECTIONEERING CONTROL IS GRANTED TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES NO PRESIDENT WITHOUT PREVIOUS MILITARY TRAINING CAN SUCCEED MORE THAN ONE TERM BEFORE BEING THROWN BY THE MILITARY. APREC--AUTONOMOUS POLICE RESOURCES ELECTIONS CONTROL THEREFORE IS THE ONLY GUARANTEED AGAINST A CATASTROPHIC SCATTERING OF OUR BEAUTIFUL NIGERIA.

Quite frankly, Tinubu has worked very hard to deepen democracy in Nigeria. Even the Buhari many tout, what has been his contribution to democracy? What are his ideals? What was Obasanjo's contribution to democracy? Even though Lagos State could have done more, it is still the model state of progressive leadership managed by Tinubu. Let him run Nigeria. In 2023, I'd like to choose from the following: Bola Tinubu Yemi Osinbajo Femi Gbajabiamila Akinwumi Adesina Nasir el Rufai Babagana Monguno Babagana Zulum Zainab Gimba Ben Akabueze And to the Igbo folks, you cannot insist that "no Igbo Presidency in 2023, no Nigeria" like Ezeife did this morning. You cannot say you'd believe in the Nigeria project only after getting your turn. Believe in Nigeria and play politics of inclusivity by looking beyond your tribe. MKO did this, Tinubu has done this and quite frankly, it won't hurt if he is rewarded or one of his competent boys is. Igbos, learn from him and engage more meaningfully. I feel it is unfair to insist on the Presidency by any tribe without working for it. PS: Let us campaign for someone who is willing to be President, never a circumstantial President. We have had too many unwilling leaders thrust upon us by circumstances, for example, Aguiyi-Ironsi, Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo (twice), Shehu Shagari, Ernest Shonekan, Abdusalam Abubakar, Umar Yar'adua, Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari who was brought out of retirement. We need intentional leaders, enough of impromptu leaders. And quite frankly, the two most prepared hands to manage Nigeria are Tinubu and Osinbajo. If we have another unwilling/circumstantial President in 2023, he'd be worse than Buhari. 2 Likes 1 Share |
