2023: Northern Elders Take On Southern Governors, Reject Power Shift
Say North will continue to lead Nigeria |

Stop self-help in VAT war to avoid anarchy, ACF warns

No region can solve own problems alone – Lawan

Ahead of the 2023 general election, some elders in the North have said the region will not give up the presidency to the South, insisting that the region will continue to rule Nigeria.

This seems to be a response to the demand by the Southern Governors’ Forum that presidential power must return to the South at the expiry of the eight-year two-term tenure of President Muhamamdu Buhari in 2023, in the spirit of power rotation, equity and fair play.

LEADERSHIP reports that since the return of civil rule in 1999, power has traditional moved between the South and North. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (South) handed over to the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua (North), who died in office. Dr Good luck Jonathan (South), who was Yar’Adua’s deputy, took the seat until he yielded it to Muhammadu Buhari (North) after the 2015 general election.

On Thursday, the Southern governors had risen from their meeting in Enugu to repeat their call for the president to revert to the South in 2023, just as they threw their weight behind the collection of VAT by state governments, among other resolutions.

However, the spokesperson of one of the groups in the region, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, yesterday said the North was not for sale and that Northerners are not second-class citizens of Nigeria, as such the region will not accept to play second fiddle when the region has the population to vie for the top political position and win.

Dr. Baba-Ahmed stated this at the weekend at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria while delivering the keynote address at the inaugural edition of Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series organised by the students wing of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG).

While urging the students to be proud of who they are as Northerners, he also challenged them not to accept being treated as second-class citizens in their own country.

Speaking about the 2023 general elections and the agitations for power shift to the South, Baba-Ahmed said the heavens will not fall if a northerner is again elected the next president of Nigeria.

He stated further that the North was not for sale and that Northerners will surprise those waiting for them to queue up in 2023 and be given money in exchange for their votes, adding that anyone who does not want a northerner as president should leave the country if one emerges.

Northern Elders Take On Southern Governors, Reject Power Shift, say North will continue to lead Nigeria

Let me say this before I proceed. There's nothing like the North in this context...it's all about the FULANIS. How many Hausas in the north are left in the political scheme of things? Absolutely NONE. So, please let the Fulanis STOP including the Hausas in their quest to subjugate the Indigenous nationalities. They need to stop including the Hausas when they need the numbers to get what they want and then turn around to kick them to the curb after getting what they want. Now, about the Fulanis claiming that they have the population to continue ruling the country in any election, I find it perplexing that they can NOT use the same number to generate enough revenue to run the moribund states that they control. You can't act high and mighty and yet you depend on the southern states for your survival.

Reject it if you like. You people have no choice. You are only scared because of the score card of the best president so far you have at the center, if Buhari has performed so well and if you people don't have what you are hiding you won't be fighting for power badly since it will not be the first time a Southern will rule this country.

You know you won't dare the south cos if you do you will have to go borrow more money to run the country because by then every pipeline in the south will be in flames.
very childish comment!
You people are still politically primitive because u can't separate politics from ethnic jingoism.
Afenifere, Ohanaezeb and NEF or ACF are sociocultural groups who promote the interest of their region. All members of the aforementioned sociocultural groups are very irrelevant in their states politically; they're bigots, religious fanatics and responsible for most ethno-religious tensions in this country.
However, u are so primitive to understand that Politicians are using them as barking dogs. Politics is all about interest and this interest doesn't serve masses but the political class's only as such, most Northern Politicians want power to shift to South because it will serve their advantage for one reason or another. In the next 5 months most Northerners will queue behind Tinubu and leave ordinary citizens eating their words in pain. Can't u see how Wike is championing for Northern Presidential candidate under PDP and how most Northern Governors come out publicly and show their support for Southern candidate?
Reason: Wike want to be VP with Tambuwal and Northern Governors want sensitive positions under any southern President while poor citizens will get poorer!

No one is stopping SS and SE candidates from contesting Party primaries na. Go and contest.

In 2014, different zones of the North contested against Buhari for the APC ticket so why are you people always attacking Yorubas when you should simply prepare to contest like men?

Did Igboman, i.e Okorocha, not run in that same APC Primaries while all Yorubas honorably abstained?

Did anyone try and bully Okorocha out with curses and insult? When will you guys learn how to play mature politics and stop making annoying villager noise up and down every damn day?

Na the Middle belt I blame for all this nonsense, those people where born to be Fulani slave. The Middle belt are being killed and oppressed at will, yet they can’t stand up to their Fulani masters. When the fighting starts, the Fulanis will stay at home and send the Middle belt to go and fight. It’s a pity if the Middle belt are allowed to join Southern Nigeria, they will still bring this lazy Fulani mentality with them........spits

What are u guys expecting.... The same region that betray southern unity will still come here to shout southern unity because of their 2023 jagaban presidential dream.... Later they will say they 're sophisticated but see as the so called less learned northerners are using their head.... Yoruba leaders are the number one mugus in Nigeria.

Is there anything like power lotation in Nigeria constitution... Take those northern leaders anywhere, they will still win you on this matter.

Get sense Yoruba say No... They prefer playing corny to their own disadvantage.

For the sake of clarity, I am a Southwesterner and no apologies about that.

Beyond that, I don't do tribal politics and I don't believe in ethnic bigotry.

That said, it is a bit difficult for me to understand how the Southwest betrayed Jonathan.

The following facts negate that submission:

1. The Southwesterners were at the forefront of the clamour to have Jonathan take over after the rumoured death of Yaradua. Tunde Bakare, Soyinka, Odumakin and OBJ played vital roles.

2. In 2015 GEJ won all the states in the Southwest with the exception of Osun state.

3. In the 2019 Presidential election, PDP narrowly lost the Southwest to APC because the Southwesterners that the PDP relied on were not well grounded in the politics of the region and relied solely on the Federal might and the power of the dollars.

4. The other factor was that the Southwest was alienated by PDP denying Southwest the opportunity of producing the party's Chairman. This led to Prof Tunde Adeniran, Segun Oni and others quitting the party whilst those that stayed back did so grudgingly.

Despite the misgivings occasioned by point 4 above, PDP/ Atiku still posted a decent outing in the Southwest.

Perhaps, what broke the camel's back for Atiku majorly was the decision of some parts of the country to boycott the election. Maybe, if elections were not boycotted in those places, Atiku might have won because these were PDP's supposed stronghold.
