This week's column uses the tension and animosities of the 2023 election as the launching pad to make a case for systematizing inter- and intra-regional power rotation at all levels of government in Nigeria in the interest of national cohesion:https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2023/03/2023-election-highlights-imperative-of.html 50 Likes 3 Shares

I will support a constitutional provision to rotate the presidency between the south and the north on an 8 years basis. It will reduce the ethno-religious dimension in our politics. 73 Likes 2 Shares |

seunmsg: Hmmm... Or better still, let there be a constitutional provision for people to only be eligible to vote in their state of origin. This will help to allay the fears of a take over by another ethnic group in certain regions. 47 Likes 7 Shares |

TheManPregnant:Taxes nko? It is selfishness to take taxes from people and when it's time for politics, you remind them of their state of origin. If you don't want non indigenes to vote, you should also stop collecting taxes from them. 75 Likes 5 Shares |

MasterJayJay:Better it's done in 6 regions. There is no way Tinubu can secure up to a thousand vote if it was the turn of Yorubas and he is contesting against a seasoned technocrats. He is a druggie they all know. He is old and suffer dementia. Those who ralied behind him are just tribalists who don't care about the country for so long as their tribesman is in charge. Tinubu would not have even won primaries. The same goes for Buhari lack of criticism from the north. As for Peter Obi, Igbo people will always rally behind him anytime anyday. Especially the ordinary Igbos in the streets. 18 Likes 6 Shares |

I hate rotational presidency with all my heart, but i have to say that Mr Kperoogi makes a good argument here. Also, let's be honest , the way things are, we have defacto rotational presidency anyway. 7 Likes |

MasterJayJay: Taxes will only guarantee you the right to live, school, work, do business, healthcare and have access to other social amenities in the region you live in. Voting will only be allowed in your state of origin. We need to completely kill the type of ethnic propaganda that was spurn up during the last elections. The opportunity for irresponsible political actors and their surrogates to push us to the brink should be totally cut off. A proposed ammendment to the electoral act and other areas of the constitution that concerns the right to vote to reflect this might just come up during the next national assembly. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

TheManPregnant: Inasmuch, I never wished for breakup of Nigeria. I found your proposal ridiculous. It is better you propose that Nigeria divides than saying people should go to their state of origin to vote while paying taxes where they reside. What's the pretence for? Be bold and say you want a breakup. 30 Likes |

Racoon:You need to take care of your emotional health, before you damage it for yourself through Nairaland. Farook is one of the most detribalised and balanced op-Ed writers, who even predicted that Obi has the probability of winning if so and so happened, but your bitterness won't let you see that. 27 Likes 1 Share |

MasterJayJay: Nigeria is a ridiculous country that has been unable to resolve and move past the ethnic fault lines engineered by her colonial masters. What I proposed is a rational way forward and a possible way of ending the mutual suspicion amongst the various ethnic groups in Nigeria. Since everyone can only vote in their state of origin, nobody will cry that their state is about to be taken over by another ethnic group during election season. The 2023 Gubernatorial elections in some states marked a near crescendo of tribal propaganda that had been deployed many times in the past. It must never happen again! We as a people must figure out how to live together in peace, and one of the ways we can do this is to ensure that indigenes are protected from the (real or imagined) political meddling of settlers in their various states. Everybody should go back to their states of origin to vote. 21 Likes 3 Shares |
