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.”

Which middle belt? Yakubu Gowon? Ibrahim Babaginda?

ThEGodFaThEr102:
In 2015 you and your parents were chanting SAI BABA upandan but today you, your parents and extended family members are in republic of Benin wailing "Chai Buhari".

You guys have not seen anything. By the time Buhari completes his remaining 2 years the Fulanis would have driven you all to Sahara desert.

Rossinkup:
OH SHUT UP.

YOU SOUND LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT WITH NO BRAIN.

NO NORTHERNER GOT THE PRESIDENCY BY DOING THAT, BUT BY CAMPAIGNING AND REACHING OUT TO OTHER REGIONS.

IF YOU PEOPLE WON'T DO THAT, THEN GO TO BLAZES. YOU WILL NOT LEAD NIGERIA.

NARCISSISTIC IDIOTS.

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. ..

onuman:
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.

ThEGodFaThEr102:
And this is the local fulani herder that chased over 45% of the population of southwest people away to faraway Togo and Benin Republic where they are now living as refugees.

Difrent:

El rufai finish una but na yoruba una fit face

Shame on you

Btw YORUBAS have a large population in benin and togo infact these two countries are part of the Old oyo empire so we are kith and kin ,our people are in safe hands .
I pray war don't break out now in iboland , you people have nowhere to take refuge , you have insulted every one of your neighbor who could help you....

Tecno66:
Dont mind Rufai. Buhari threatened that baboon and monkey will bath in blood and he got the presidency. So why can others not do same and get it? All the things they did and got away with, they are preventing others from doing same. Rubbish.

ThEGodFaThEr102:
It's only cowards that take refuge during war time.

Igbos will never take refuge. We will fight and defend our land with every drop of our blood.

Biafra......is an ideology, it's has been etched in every heart of every Igbos. We are not afraid of he who can kill the body but have no power over the soul.

Since you people have decided to become refugees in faraway strange land in Togo and Benin Republic, no problem!

Congrats on your new journey


ThEGodFaThEr has spoken, he who has ears let him hear

fregeneh:
Oh oK! Is that the plan and strategy to cause violence and chaos here and there so that s/east can use that as bargaining ship for presidency like buhari did ? Hmmmm it now make senses to me

Tribes of cowards? Can you boldly repeat and convince yourself of that phrase again? Chicken!

iampeterben:
Centralising this in terms of democratic rule sir.

ProWalker:
From whom are you asking for this Biafra ? From the Executive? the Judiciary or the Legislature?

What you’ve been doing so far is a noisy monologue

Tecno66:
Violence and threat appears to be the only language we understand as a people. The yorubas nearly turned the country upside down because of MKO issue, the who country agreed to compensate them with the presidency and so OBJ came on board. The Niger Delta militants did their own and that made it easy for Dr. Goodluck to be president. The boko haram started and Mr. Buhari started threatening everybody. For peace to reign, everyone hands off with all the allegation of suspicious credentials. Even the supreme court accommodated him. Now, the ibos appear to have found the trick and they are using it. How do you blame them? Even though it may be difficult, a lot of folks are already talking of igbo presidency if that is what will stop violence from that end.

ThEGodFaThEr102:
This is the rubbish that comes out of your mouth when all you do is use kpako chewing stick to brush your teeth every morning, little wonders 70% of Yoruba father and mother have brown decayed incomplete teeth.

Igbos are every where in the world rendering businesses and services and they making use of the southwest to their advantage is normal for every resourceful and enterprising human. The same can never be said of your brethren who's stock in trade is to look for any available Bus stop and start pursuing Okada, Keke Napep and trucks to collect "Owo mi da". Bunch of lazy Afonja indigenes.

A day will come when touting and agberoing will become unattractive then let's see if your people will not find something reasonable and dignified for themselves.

Oloribu somebodies.........

blackmaine:
And the noise making is making your idiocy more outstanding, if your so called three arms of government don't reconsider Referendum, Nigeria will burn to ashes, at least even if you're blind , you're not hearing impaired... FOOL

What more does anyone need to prove that tribe is filled with not only cowards but Fools ?!

You are the most coward region I have ever seen. Is not obvious that the president is dead, and you people yet refuse to take what's rightly yours by constitution? When will people ever be bold to fight for your rights? slowpoke

adekolaelect:
which right when you left your poeple and Region to ordinary Erosion to take over ? Which right when Kanu declared unrealistic Biafra and Ran away later sent condolence letter to his Dog and left you gullible followers unattended to? We voted osinhbajo as vice president and the president seat is not vacant yet where is the right position or do you think everybody is caword like you poeple who always make noise where there is none? You can't expect everybody to have stupidities in their DNA like yours.
