Former Senator Shehu Sani has supported calls by the Southern States for the rotation of power.

Senator Sani who wrote on his Facebook wall on Tuesday said, Southern states have the legitimate and moral rights to demand the presidency.

Recall that the Southern Governors Forum penultimate week, in Lagos took a comprehensive review of developments in the country and adopted some resolutions, one of which was that the presidency should be rotated between the South and the North.

Specifically, the governors demanded that the next president of the country should emerge from the southern region based on equity and fairness.

Reacting on Tuesday, Former senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani said, “The Southern States have the legitimate and moral rights to demand Presidency; but the threat of secession reportedly attributed to Philip Shuaibu the Deputy Governor of Edo State on the account of the failure of power to rotate, stands condemned.

“Threats and intimidation against the North is counterproductive and corrosive.

“Some Northern Governors, groups and respected individuals have expressed the same opinion on the need to rotate power, threatening secession can only alienate them and push them to have second thoughts.

Consultations and building bridges across the Niger is the way to go and not a threat to break the country, especially coming from a revered personality occupying such an important political position in the country.” He said.

Thinking about how Buhari and APC tricked and scam country men in 2015, I don't think I can ever believe Nigerian politians again. Anything they are serious or fight for is for their personal gains.

What if all these is another grand trick meant to distract and defuse country men (especially southerners who are more sophisticated in rational thinking) before they strike with another grand scam in 2023.

Wait o, the southern governors are much more politically divided compared to the Northern governors. Many of this southern governor and reps will still play their normal Sabo roles and lick their fulani pay-masters assso. So, what structure do "southern governors" have to even ensure presidency come to the south?

Has southern governors agreed on what part or person in the south the President should or will be ceded to?

If the North insist the president must come from their region, what will the southern governors' next calculated move? (abi se na person wey follow ban open grazing, but ordinary fulani herder still dey parade hundreds of cow even around him office, se na dat one I go trust say eh fit collect presidency from the executive fulani herder?)

2015, Buhari say "change" , plenty people nor reason to ask "to worse or better". So, na these questions and many more we soppose to dey ask them and ourself, make eh nor be say all this southern gorveror meeting up and down nah just to play sweet music (wey Buhari don even refuse to play) into our hears, while them still dey try take our situation (wey don already move from frying pan to fire), from fire again to a 5000 degree celcius furnace.

Who or whatever will move this country forward is welcome but for peace to be in this country I will advise that power should come from Easter part

One reality of today's Nigeria is that the agitation for secession has become an open wound. It will take enthronement of equity and sense of beloging among the federating units to heal. Otherwise, the wound will persist and continue worry the entire body. If nothing is done, it may become cancerous and kill the body.

Aboki with sense

Tinubu must be the president.



buhari owes us certain achievements and it must be given back>


When time comes you will understand

I just want to let y'all know that the British are racists

Abdul05:
Tinubu must be the president

president of Lagos u mean

yahaya bello will soon declare kogi as a southern states with clear evidences and proves. the man still they fight 4 that post na.


but that is if the rotation of power is adopted

We will all return to dust one day, what do you want to be remembered for?

The last one we sent to Aso Rock went there to do eye service and peace-keeping....



He is the reason why we are suffering this fate....

Have second thoughts then and see if the south feeding you since 1914 won't leave this contraption.Parasites

That's kind of stating the obvious.

And to drive it home, the next President should come from Eastern part of Nigeria, that's if at all we are talking of equity, reconciliation and unity.

Abeg people like Sani should not put mouth in this oo

It be like some people's support on things are mostly opposite of reality

I miss this man on twitter. Common sense no common

As it stands now I'll queue under the hot sun to even vote for a Rochas presidency... anything to get rid of northern presidency is the goal. Please don't quote me to say shit, this is my opinion and you're free to have yours away from my mention thank you

SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary conversations from some online nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu. 

They should stop disturbing themselves about 2023 abegii...

2023 come fast biko....

As far as we are concerned,

Somebody created bandit and bh for selfish gain, at the end, they biting everybody.

I didn't say everybody brought this present government,

Good one na aboki dem want to dey rule as if others na slave

Let the north continue to rule biko. The problem in Nigeria today is too much, to reasonable southerner will want to inherit it.

Have they paid 30k this month? this one you have sub

All I know is this: There is no "Presidential" material in any of our current Southern Governors .
I read their Press Release & did a series of SMHs in stupefaction. The DSS-a national body created by law for national security to alert you before they can do their legal duty?
They cry daily about security, but are angry when that which threatens such security is taken out of society for legal comeuppance.
They claim to be incapacitated by law on security but want the Police Security Trust Fund money to be shared by them along with FG.
It is always about money with these ones. They insist on State Police, but have not told us how they will fund it?
A total set of fools...! I will not even take any one of them out, because if there is ONE with focus, he should be able to bring direction to all. Nigeria will yet stand

2023 is an interesting year to come.

Southerners are just not to be trustworthy.

Too many snitches....

Till then...

Southerners are threatening everybody that they must have come 2023;
this 2023 presidency useless Southern governors & politicians are galivanting up & down insisting they must have -- governors & politicians whose only idea of governance is to issue press statements every month on Fulani herdsmen, cattle grazing & 2023 presidency to distract their gullible state citizens from the resources & allocations of their states they have stolen with nothing to show for it;
you will see how these Southern governors & greedy power drunk Southern politicians will kill & destroy each other just to pick & present one presidential candidate.
Watch how they will burn down the South with insecurity on the eve of 2023 as all these militias, unknown gunmen, Amotekun, Ebube Agu, ESN, OPC, Cult gangs, the various states police & vigilantes in the South will get new sponsors in these Southern governors & politicians as well as new sophisticated weapons from them as they jostle to eliminate each other & weaken the political base of their opponents to be able to pick the presidential ticket for themselves.
The sad shame however is that after destroying themselves, The Southern homeland, wasting the resources of Southern states & the lives of Southern misguided youths just to pick a presidential ticket, they will still turn back & blame the North for the destruction their unbridled greed for power for selfish ends brought on the South.
You see this Southern presidential agitations...
Well, enough said already!

Let it kill the darn body already. The pain is darn excruciating!

If you understand what the North have used the Presidency to do for their people, you will realize how powerful and important it is for South to get this power back.
I stay in the North abd i know.

Till then...

And the North are? They've ruled for so long, yet the rest of the country have
benefitted very little. Northern leadership is a cancer that needs to be removed come 2023. We've had enough!
