Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), has thrown his weight behind the resolution of Southern Governors’ Forum that the next president of Nigeria must come from the Southern part of the country in the interest of justice, equity and fair play.
Speaking exclusively with Daily Independent on Tuesday, the legal luminary said ceding the presidency to the North in 2023 is dangerous for the unity of the country.
Southern governors from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at their meeting in Lagos in July had issued a communiqué where they agreed that the presidency should be zoned to Southern Nigeria in 2023 when President Muhammadu Buhari completes his second term.
“The forum reaffirms its commitment to the unity of Nigeria on the pillars of equity, fairness, justice, progress and peaceful coexistence between and amongst its people.
The forum reiterates its commitment to the politics of equity, fairness and unanimously agreed that the presidency of Nigeria be rotated between Southern and Northern Nigeria and resolved that the next president of Nigeria should emerge from the South.”
The governors, who again met in Enugu last week, also reiterated their commitment towards ensuring that the major political parties complied with their resolution on zoning of the presidential ticket to the South.
Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, who is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, said any political party that fields a Northern candidate for presidency in 2023 risks losing the support of Southerners.
He argued that when President Buhari, a Northerner, completes his second term in 2023, the next president should come from the South.
According to him, “There are about three political parties that are in the Southern Governors’ Forum, we have the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. All of us are unanimous in our position that the next president of this country must come from the South.
" For us, we are unanimous. It (the forum) is not a political platform. I believe that any party that picks somebody from the North would have to face the whole Southern region because they will not support it".
"It has to come from the South. We are saying that there must be what I will call rotation. The justice of it and the fairness in it are what we are preaching. If my president – President Buhari — has been in office for eight years, it can’t be from the North. The next president must come from the South.”
seunmsg: All the handles arguing in favor of Atiku on this thread are all from the south east. They will later move to another thread to call Yorubas betrayals and Fulani slaves. Never seen a people that defines confusion so effortlessly. They've got their priorities so mixed up that they don't even know where to stand. Smh!
hisexcellency34: If the contest is between Tinubu and Atiku, I can place my bet on Atiku because the North has the voting strength and they will support their son
chrisxxx: My friend stop hyping the Fulanis. Do you know what population is in war? Do you know what America fears about China despite their sophisticated weapon? The population of Fulani world over is less than the population of Western Nigeria let alone east and south south. Do you know the multinational investment in the south? And you think in your praise singing that these nations will watch and see someone brings their investment to ruin? Fulani are afraid now more than ever before. You think Hausas that have come to consciousness will join the war or people of Benue or Plateau? Bros pray for peace because even the Fulanis want peace however they want the status quo to remain.
Veggieseedies: The problem with NIGERIA today starts with bihari and it ends on May 29th 2023, it's less than two years.
The madness of the fulani, the agenda to forcefully take middle Belt lands would be defeated immediately he leaves office The ado about grazing roots, the dust and the tension would settle. The utterances of miyeti, and the other sister organization of one man ends. The brutality and politicisation of the DSS lessens.
May 29th 2023 is sacrosanct
Hmmmm. I hope you are right the Buhari that we have now is a desperate man, and can do anything to scuttle 2023 or bring his kin to continue the carade. But as you said 2023 will define Nigeria for sure. May God spare our lives to witness this man's ingnoble end. Amen
The surge in violence, crime and insecurity in nigeria is caused by ineffective leadership of Buhari. He thought he could use force to settle southern issues and conciliate on northern malice both of which he has failed woefully. Nigerians should not be surprised he has nothing to offer, his antecedents speaks volumes. Besides what magic do you expect to see from a man who present a weac news paper cutting as his highest certificate? The only thing he really thinks of is cow and Niger republic, all other things are not of high priority. No wonder he lamented that he was handicapped by democracy. If he had had the military opportunity once again he would have had his way in all of his satanic agendas. But Nigerians are greater than his plans. Thank God!

melaniaup: Currently, We Have Two Sets Of Laws In Nigeria - Senator Abaribe
We have the law for the North and the law for the South. In the North, terrorists are called bandits, government negotiate with them and pay them huge amount of money for their terrorism. In the South, unarmed freedom fighters are called terrorists, government arrest them and even kill them at will. In the North, police don’t arrest criminals or extort motorists. In the South, police arrest innocent citizens and extort motorists. In the North, Islamic police (Hisbah) arrest Nigerian police for drinking alcohol. In the South, police arrest vigilantes that drink alcohol and label them criminals. In the North, Northern youths can kill innocent Southerners and no one will arrest them. In the South, Southern youths get arrested for attacking armed Fulani herdsmen. How will people believe in One Nigeria with these treatments? - Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe
True son if the southeast. Unlike the spineless leaders that want to parade themselves as leaders!
oz4real83: what profession was your mom into before she gave birthday to u? Those your sisters that are not content with just one boyfriend but have several of them who give them financial assistance after sleeping with them to help your family, what will u call that? U open your trap to insult an ethnic group because of the action of a few, whose action isn't only peculiar to them but runs across all ethnic groups in Nigeria? Tell me your tribe now and I will tell u examples of people from your tribe who claim to be celebrities or actresses but deep down are public utilities. E'we.
Retarded. It's common knowledge don't contest it. Fool. All your women are prostitute deal with it
bmdmix11: people just start assuming things n making it look like its the norm, Jesus isn't a king He is a lord and also the Son of God, leaving only one king GOD.
When Jesus made reference to him being king it wasn't directly to heaven but on earth.
Else we will be having two kings which cant happen just like what the devil wanted to be.
On earth he is king, in the heavens he is the lord of lord
Just check the bible n read carefully no verse tagged him King.
we humans made that tag.
bless
One of the anti-christ is on the loose. Devil's advocate
F*** Joe Biden' chants ring out in college football stadiums: Southern chant spreads north as Mets and Yankees fans join in to slam the President
In one video, the chants interrupted a studio hosting a panel of commentators The chants even spread to professional sports, uniting Mets and Yankees fans Biden's approval is at a low 45.8 percent, compared to a high of 55 in January Donald Trump, Jr. blames the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal for the chants He also cited Biden's new vaccine rules for large employers and federal workers 'It's gotten so bad that the media can't run cover for him anymore,' he said A profane chant mocking Joe Biden broke out at college football games for the second straight week in stadiums across Southern states as the president's approval ratings dip following the chaotic evacuation from Afghanistan and his controversial vaccine mandate for federal workers.
The F*** Joe Biden shouts echoed throughout stadiums during games played by Coastal Carolina, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Alabama State, Mississippi State, North Carolina State and Texas A&M.
Twitter users pointed out that the protest chant - with the simple lyrics 'f*** Joe Biden' sung between claps - are mostly from colleges in states that Donald Trump won in the 2020 election.
Donald Trump Jr. attributed the derogatory protest on everything from Biden's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal to the new vaccine rules and rising inflation as the economy recovers from COVID-19 shutdowns.
'Honestly, it's gotten so bad that the media can't run cover for him anymore,' Trump Jr. told David Hookstead of the Daily Caller on Saturday.
When you look at Afghanistan, and I can go through 50 points on it, but $65 to $80 billion of equipment left to our enemies, giving them a kill list of American citizens, giving them the biometric scanners to still do that, pulling out the military before you pulled out civilians, telling them you're giving up all of your leverage to a terrorist group, the Taliban, and then going back to negotiating after you've given them everything they could possibly want.'
On the new vaccine rules, Trump, Jr. said: 'It's a little bity crazy. None of this lines up - the whole, "my body my choice," except for when the government mandates something - it doesn't work, but no one's calling out the hypocrisy.'
Video posted by Old Row Sports shows fans of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, S.C., laughing in the stands as the 'f*** Joe Biden' chants break out.
In one video, the chanting interrupted a panel of commentators recording at a studio above a stadium.
The North is desolate, so that's why you people are feeling so left out that you have decided to get Buhari's attention like your mentors in terrorism by wilfully destroying a once peaceful Southeast with your own hands...
Many of you are so dull it makes me wonder what your chestbeating is even all about.
Carve out your own fulanidom and let's see how far you imbeciles can go. Mtchewww
Angelfrost: Well written... I couldn't agree more!
Sadly and ironically, the morons will rather point fingers at imaginary enemies from another region instead of accepting the gravity of their failure and current dire situation.
They will continue to live in this denial while their region descends to preventable anarchy.
This can't be pride... This is a whole new level of destructive stupidity!!!
Go and wail over your desolate north. You have enough to cry about there.
