In the light of the fact that Governor Nyseom Wike of Rivers state, a leading member of the G5, has claimed that some APC Governors are meeting with Waziri Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, in Dubai and elsewhere (an allegation which I cannot possibly confirm or deny), I am constrained to make the following submission.

For those that may be attending such meetings or are considering the possibility of doing so kindly consider the following.

A violation of the sacred covenant and betrayal of the honorable commitment of a power shift to the South in 2023 will take us back to the June 12th 1993 crisis and will have grave consequences for democracy and our national unity. Nigerians were NOT born slaves and will NEVER be slaves.

An Atiku Presidency woul represent a violation of that sacred covenant and would be manifestly unjust to the people of the South.

There can be no peace where there is no justice and there can be no unity where there is no peace.

If Waziri Atiku Abubakar emerges as President in February, Southerners would then be forced to ask themselves whether we are equal partakers in Nigeria and whether we really have a place and stake in the nation.

Norhing would confirm the nothing that we are nothing but second class citizens and slaves more than an Atiku Presidency given the fact that we would have just finished 8 years of Northern rule.

Should we be denied the next 8 years simply because we come from the "wrong" part of the country?

Whether you stand with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as I do, or with Mr. Peter Obi, as my friend and brother Bashorun Akin Osuntokun does, is neither here nor there because for either of the two to win there must be a power shift, the North must be ready to let go of power and an Atiku Presidency must not be allowed to see the light of day.
.

They say politics and democracy is a game of numbers and this is true but it must also be guided by justice, decency, principle and honor.

We are free to make our choices about who to support but let those choices be bound in equity, justice and fairness.

The tyranny and injustice of the so-called majority cannot be visited on the so-called minority without consequence.

History proves that and posterity will confirm it.

In the light of this I say, in the name of God and for the sake of our collective future, let power shift from the North to the South next year, let us avoid the ugly conundrum of perpetual Northern rule and let us in, in peace, love and unity rebuild the bridges of trust between our people and heal our land.

Whether Northerner or Southerner Nigerians are ONE but to confirm that we must pass the baton of leadership between North and South in an equitable, reasonable and just manner.

As we enter the New Year kindly ponder on this matter.

The consequences of getting it wrong would be dangerous, dire, too hard to bear and too troubling to enunciate.

Let us hope and pray that sanity prevails.

Happy New Year!

Affirmative...mm

Rabid dog on the loose.

See who's talking about decency and honor.

You want equity, let emilokan stand down, you can't preach Justice while perpetrating injustice.

Story, zoning was shot in 2014, and buried in 2022..

Everyone should vote thier own- EMiR or daura

Atiku is coming

See anywhere belle face man.

If the APC are to get it right, their should be an Igbo man!

Southern unity press your neck, kill you there.

And Yoruba is the only tribe in the south?
Hypocrite!!

Calling for southern unity and supporting another Yoruba man (Tinubu) after Obasanjo another Yoruba man is selfishness.



Thank God you are praying that SANITY should prevail. Because with sanity, no one will vote for Babablu Bluublu bulabu.

Southern presidency? Yes! Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim satanic ticket combo- no!

If it must come to the south,then it should come to the SE

After eating Ewedu and Amala from Remi Tinubu's kitchen...

FFK would come out to talk trash...

The plain truth is this ....

It will be political injustice to the North if power shifts to the South next year...

In this Democratic dispensation, the South have ruled Nigeria for 14 years

The North have only ruled for 9+ years..

Allowing the South to rule for another 8 years would mean 22 years of southern rule....

While the North would have ruled for 10 years

So the North must rule for at least another 4 years for there to be balance and equity in the Power sharing and rotation scale

Therefore power must remain in the North until further notice

It's coming to the South and the strongest of the South will take it. It's coming home to the SW.

See greedy people, they sowed in PDP but wanted to harvest in APC. It'd never happen.

most Yorubas are the most hypocritical beings on earth I swear.

How about Mu/Mu ticket?

Why should it come to the South if its by might?

Pakute:
It's coming to the South and the strongest of the South will take it. It's coming home to the SW.

kcnwaigbo:
If it must come to the south,then it should come to the SE

I concur

Jagaban is coming

DMerciful:

Power is not given to the weak.

You have not answered the question. Why should it come to yhe South?

Pakute:

Power is not given to the weak.

Unity beggars on the beat again..... If you're guys are really interested in unity then you have to specify which part of the south power should return to.
