Hmmm.....this will get too much for this country.how do they want another southwest to rule again after 1999-2007, then vice president from 2015-2023.....
Buhari threaten GEJ and the whole of Nigeria in 2013 and 2014, yet no one said about it, 2023 will be the turning point for Nigeria. ..

El rufai that is a product of QUOTA system when it is IGBOs turn for presidency will start speaking strange GREEK. Extend that same quota system for fairness and equity.

This man just spoke the truth and nothing but the truth. The problem is that some people don't like o hear the truth, they live on denials and lies.

Honestly this is the guy that Nigeria needs as a leader. Fearless and honest. Not like other politicians that will just dance around the topic.
Most politicians are scared of losing election hence they will simply say what they think people want to hear. This guy doesn't give a Flying fvck about elections. he speaks his mind.
And who give a fuvk about presidency. Why are they scared of restructuring? Is restructuring not good for nigeria? They can keep their presidency but restructure the country we are ok.

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, says although he believes the South should produce the next President, the people of the South-East must note that they cannot get the Presidential seat by threatening others with secession.

El-Rufai further stated that politics has to do with negotiations and convincing others why they should vote for you.

He, therefore, stated that the Igbo would need to adopt this approach if they want their son to succeed the current President.

The governor said this during a webinar organised by the Africa Leadership Group. The event which was tagged: ‘Developing a Viable Nation 2’ was hosted by Pastor of Trinity House church Ituah Ighodalo.

Responding to a question on why the South-East is being denied the Presidency, el-Rufai responded, “I don’t think anyone has stopped the South-East from going for the Presidency. But you see, you cannot get the Presidency of Nigeria by threats or by shouting victimhood. This is a political process and you have to engage other parts of Nigeria to convince them to support you.

“That is what everyone does. That is what Jonathan did in 2011; that is what Buhari did in 2015 and 2019. That is what every President does. You don’t stay in your corner, abuse everyone in Nigeria and say give me Presidency. It is not going to happen.”

He noted that no region in Nigeria can attain the Presidency without the support of others.

The governor advised those who want to be President to get on the road and convince people that you mean well for them.

He, however, explained that the All Progressives Congress is weak in the South-East which may not favour the region.

El-Rufai added, “Presidency is not by allocation. It is the result of a political process. You join a political party, your party negotiates with other parts of the country and it happens. That is how it is done. And you cannot get it by sitting down or threatening secession. It won’t work.

I think the South-East is going about it the wrong way because if you look at the APC for instance, we do not have many footprints in the South-East.

Presidency of Nigeria is by allocation. Presidency was allocated to the SW in 1999.

This is because of the skewed political structure of Nigeria created by northern soldiers to favor Arewa.

El Rufai can never be truthful.

The question is what is the big deal about presidency? Who does the president benefit?
The people or the president himself?

What has the north benefited from having the presidency apart from protecting bandits and terrorists? Even at that who is suffering it more?

The Igbos will suffer more if they have the presidency cos the Igbo president will neglect his region and try to placate others who will still never love and accept him, example GEJ.

In fact, the Igbo politicians clamoring for presidency and El rufai are all stupid. Who has the president helped since creation of this good for nothing country?

What any right thinking Nigerian apart from the northerners should be interested in now should be either restructuring or break up and not presidency. Is it a country Buhari has finished kpata kpata someone wants to rule? Where will that person start from?
Except the person's interest is just in looting money.

Yes, El-Rufai, like Buhari, is a Fulani bigot, but there's hardly anything outrageous in this statement. He's spot on.
