Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu on Wednesday, August 10, said former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar broke the gentleman’s agreement between the south and the north on the rotational presidency, saying he must not be president next year.

He made this call at the one-year remembrance of Prof. Bankole Oke of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ibadan, while delivering a lecture entitled, ‘Nigeria: The politics of religion in a transitional society.’

He said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that picked Atiku from the north as its presidential candidate, is not doing so in the nation’s interest.

Akeredolu stated that Peter Obi, who is from the south could contest, saying that APC was ready to give it whatever it takes to make sure power returns to the South in 2023.

According to him, there appeared to be an understanding that power must rotate between the North and the South and that this understanding witnessed the contest of two candidates from the South-West for the Presidency.

He said it was part of the unwritten agreement that the power equation must be balanced to allay the fear of domination harboured by the people of the South.
The governor stated that there had been a conscious attempt not to disrupt the extant agreement, as there had been a seamless transition from one civilian regime to another since 1999, the longest in the political history of the country.

“The current political permutations raise strong suspicions on an undeclared motive to thwart the arrangement that has been working for the country. The rotation of the office of the President is between the North and the South since the inception of the Fourth Republic,” Akeredolu said.

He is right ,power should come to South.

Technically, he want his people to be BATIFIED.

What of the gentle man agreement between the SW and SS/SE

Yoruba had 8years as president
Yoruba also had another 8 years as vice president

No be greed be that?
I don't expect a Swesterner to talk about any gentleman agreement.

The SW are the main people derailing Obi's
campaign...
They are the one attacking Obi the most....
The Yorubas are greedy and self centered

The Yorubas were the people against Jonathan govt. They voted against Jonathan.

Yorubas should stop talking about unity or gentleman agreement....they are very wicked....

What nonsense gentleman agreement?

Be deceiving yourself and not Nigeria. The election is between PO and Atiku.

By the way is Atiku not better than BAT in all ramifications?

Can anyone point to me where BAT is better than Atiku pls.

Atiku has his certificates.
Atiku has held the highest office.
Atiku is healthier
Atiku speaks better
Atiku has granted TV interviews.

Truth be told, Tinubu is not an option and will never be one.

Tinubu sleeps in hospital and wake up shouting Emilokan.

Atiku sleeps in Dubai and wakes up in Nigeria on election day.

Vote Peter obi for better Nigeria for you and your family. From consumption to production so that you will at least have places to submit your certificates without knowing a Godfather.

You people think you are wiser than everyone.

Who should they vote for?

So Tinubu that picked a fellow muslim as against past presidents since 1999 didnt break an agreement?

Akeredolu is a hypocrite!


All the reasons for removing PDP from power are still in play today and even worse.

Akeredolu...your party APC doesn't deserve another chance.


All sensible Nigerians will send your party packing from Aso rock

As in you will just weak on this nature they love to exhibit.

No gentle agreement in south but gentle man agreement for north and south..

Telling people not to vote for Atiku

The gentleman agreement is between buhari and tinubu from the defunct ACN and CPC. And it is evident with tinubu being the flagbearer of APC after buhari.
Okoro, again who in the politically retrogressive SE had a gentleman agreement with the SW?

I can imagine the kind of debate Aketi and his Igbo wife will be having in the bedroom whenever she reads this message in the dailies.

Southern presidency is another political hoax if the presidency is not going to South East.

In fact, the South South even has the right to ask for presidency to be returned to the region than the South West for obvious reasons.

They will learn politics with time. They think it's by insulting others

They think they can intimidate everyone into voting obi, they say tinubu is sick but I would vote a lame donkey over Peter obi anyday. Instead of me to vote Peter obi I would rather vote a 100yrs old blind man.

Why can't the SE stand without attaching to SS by force ? DaveDGreat

The governor should stop making it about south and north.
I would rather vote for an Atiku than Tinubu, for declaring a war with the Christian

Shut up your mouth......
Politically SS and SE tends to align and always vote in the same direction since 1999.
SW is the prodigal son of southern Nigeria....chronic betrayers

Mumu, so you did not see the year I posted there 1999....with your ewedu infested brain, that is why you people keep voting and supporting nuisance...from Buhari to Tinubu,..Yorubas are the reason behind us having bad leaders....Tribalism and Sentiment has overshadow you people's brain

Akeredolu and the South West do not have the right to preach southern presidency since greed have blocked their sense of reasoning.
If power must come to south, it should be South East. If not, let the North East that have not produced president have it.
By the way, muslim-muslim devilish ticket with Shetima a Boko Haram sympathiser is much more dangerous.

So Nigeria started in 1999? Going about abusing people does not make you a tough guy. It does not help your candidate either.

You have a brain I believe let us engage on that level

Calling me mumu is really Intentional Self harm

Once again when did the SS and SE become allies politically?

Engage with your brain if you have one

The SW voted Jonathan in 2011 so factually your claim is not true
DaveDGreat
In 1993 the SE voted AGAINST ABIOLA but Cross River Akwa Ibom Delta and Edo voted for him

So this notion that the SE have any kind of deal or alignment sith SS is self deception

No I do not support Tiniubu either but I do so rationally whilst you lot are motivated by hatred and bitterness

Calling people names and all that online aggression will not help your Obi. If Obi is to win you need other folk and you are to aggressive and uncultured to get it
