The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal says it’s not impossible for a southerner to become the next president of Nigeria in 2023.

The submission comes amidst divided opinions about which region should produce the nation’s next president after Muhammadu Buhari.

Based on the controversial issue of zoning, a section of political stakeholders believe the 2023 presidency should go to the south while another group believes the north should still retain the presidency as zoning is not constitutional.

However, when asked during a recent interview with Daily Trust about the possibility of a southern candidate from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) emerging the next leader of the country should the party zone its ticket to the south, Tambuwal said it depends on the decision of political players and certain fundamental indices.

The Sokoto State Governor cautioned however that any political party that wants to win the 2023 election must do away with sentiments and strategize to present a candidate that can get the people’s vote regardless of the region.

He pointed out that the voting strength of every region in the country plays a critical role in determining election winners.

Responding to the question about a southern PDP presidential candidate for 2023;

Tambuwal said: “It depends on certain fundamentals and indices. If it is the decision of political players, just as it was done in 1999, that the major political parties would field candidates from a particular region as was done in the case of President Olusegun Obasanjo and Chief Olu Falae, then if Nigerians are having only two options from two regions, one of them would win. But if there is any political party that decides to go South and other ones North, the numbers will count. And we all know the voting strength of every bloc in this country. So it is up to political parties that are really interested in winning election not to be guided by certain primordial considerations or sentiments to strategize and throw up a candidate that can win election for that political party. It is a matter of strategy.”

You are still saying the same thing you've all been saying in the north.

All those fighting for zoning, Who knows if there will be country called nigeria in 2023

We already know the condition.

The condition is: On no account should it be microzoned to SE.

Clean wetin dey ur mouth.

Na him own Nigeria abi

Na druggie urchins dey carry this south hypocrisy matter for head (as if they cared in 2015) because as Tambuwal said north would deliver the votes to their son

So druggie fears facing a northerner not knowing he no go even see APC ticket

Man you are not a presidential material. Well we understand you the point is that south east is not going to get any political party ticket regardless of anything.

We av no respect for zoning.
Buhari for 3rd term.
Let 's give baba time to finish his works

Nigerians do well to ensure that the electoral bill is signed. If you have to hit the streets, do so.

Slowly the north are accepting reality.

Tambuwal has already prepared his mind to accept the situation where Southeasterners would be candidates of the two major political parties just like it was done for the Southwest in 1999.

The discussion is on, political stakeholders are falling in line.

Only Tinubu and his urchins are still living in a fool’s paradise.

Tinubu is a slave Merchant

South east that want to be president.
Do they have reliable number of registered voters?

But they registered as ipob members instead.

The North clearly has no intention of allowing someone from the South lead the country after Buhari. Their goal is to keep power in the North perpetually. Dr Obadiah Mailafia of blessed memory made it clear that the Northern ruling elites are looking to start a war this year so they won't hand over power come next year. Anyways, let's keep watching and see how things unfold.
