Atiku's Presidency An Affront To Southern Nigeria by Ublaize: 3:36pm On May 31, 2022 |
Bluntly Speaking Whosoever conceived rotational presidency in Nigeria between the South and the North is equitable and means well. No region should be a slave to the other by virtue of population or otherwise. I am a perennial believer of rotational presidency if the "thing" called Nigeria must work. Sadly, the events from the PDP convention show politicians particularly in Nigeria have no honour neither do they deserve any. The choice of Atiku as PDP presidential flag bearer for 2023 contradicts the gentlemanly agreement for rotational presidency which seemingly is one of the most rational solutions to our multidimensional political challenges and irreconcilable diversities in the quest for power. Atiku has been most favoured since the history of PDP more than any presidential aspirant despite his gross disloyalty and flirtatious political antics simply for his huge illicit wealth and the North's loyalty to their own. Atiku is 75 years old yet the PDP has always picked on Buhari and the APC for fielding septuagenarians for sensitive political appointments. A political party which cannot honour simple agreement has no integrity and deserves no vote. The PDP had the opportunity to redeem itself by sticking to zoning the presidency to the South as rightly agreed but chose not to for political, pecuniary and personal interests. How can you put political calculations and interests above equity and fairness and you want the people to trust you with power? Moving forward, rotational presidency should be codified into the grundnorm being our Constitution as this remains a freckle of hope for the survival of the Nigerian state. It's the turn of the South for the presidency and it will not be sold for a portion of porridge as this will be resisted vehemently. I call on the North to support this just and equitable term as what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. 1 Like |
