Nigeria’s north-central region deserves a chance to produce the next president, said former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode.

Fani-Kayode, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated this on Monday during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

Although he said he no longer believes in the emergence of a president based on zoning, he stated that such a person should come from the middle-belt or south-east region, preferably the former.

“I am not a big believer in zoning anymore,” said the former minister. “I believe that zoning could actually cause more problems … but if you insist on zoning, I believe it should go to a zone that has never had it before – the middle-belt has never had it, the south-east has never had it.

“The middle-belt has never had a democratically elected president, or a democratically elected vice president, while the eastern zone has had a democratically elected vice president.”

In the quest to find a successor for President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the 2023 elections, there have been a series of debates within the two major political parties in the country – the APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

But governors from the South, comprising the south-west, south-east, and south-south, had gone beyond party divide to demand that the office be zoned to the region.

Having supported the north-central to produce the next president, Fani-Kayode believes Nigeria needs a young and strong leader.

For him, one of the candidates he deems to be most qualified to occupy the highest office in the land is Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

“Great candidate,” he said at the mention of the governor whom he described as his friend. “It is a progressive thing for me and in my view, I believe strongly that you just don’t get up and hold on to things, you have to look at the situation you have on the ground.

“There are people who will disagree with me in the party or outside the party, but I believe that the situation we are in now requires a strong person that can move the country forward decisively with energy and power, and I don’t think we should limit ourselves to any particular zone.”

Some people are not happy with FFK for not narrowing it down to SE. Meanwhile, BAT is coming

Yahaya Bello don give this 1 one plate of amala and gbegiri soup and his reasoning don turn upsydan

FFk’s words have lost whatever relevance, they once held. He should focus on allowing Chikwendu see her four children and leave these matters alone.

So this man has truly dumped okoro?

You should be worried that your yeroba brother didn't recognize your own Tinubu,instead chose to promote a massive failure far better than a particular leaking nyash still
Na you e pain really

I feel your pain.

FFK did not even apply little diplomacy, he just dumped okoro and that is final.

Yeroba ffk didn't even try to promote yeroba Tinubu. Wonder who was dumped for real

What point? That's how the likes of FFK remain relevant and flush with cash. They con gullible and naive Nigerians.

They tell you what you want to hear, that they do not mean, to further a private agenda.

After all that talk FFK subtlety ended up suggesting Bello from the middle belt, Governor of Kogi, who is his current ATM. Bello foe godsake?

You guys are long on insults and brainlessly offensive tirade against others but short on knowlede and commonsense.

Is Yahya Bellp not FFK's current ATM? Who do you then expect Femi to sing and dance for other than the person currently providing his food.

The man is poison so wishing Bello some Goodluck for bringing the serial Failure into his camp.

That is not what dumping means. Consult any of your neighbours who is literate, that is if there is any.

To start with, FFK and Tinubu were not in same party until recently. Meaning he has not been on same page with Tinubu not to talk of any cordial political relationship.

Ever wondered why he dumped the okoro party?

And you think FFK will start supporting a lightweight politician like Yahaya Bello?

Ever heard of "flying a kite"?

Go find out its meaning from any literate friend if you have one.

Coming from an almajiri who has probably only ever knacked cows, in his entire life. I wish I could say I feel ur pain too but lol, I don't

That explains why you reason like a c0w. Nothing you ever say, makes sense to me... which is why I don't quote you on this NL

PS* save ur ill-thought tribalistic rants for people like you, with a very low IQ. I'm done reading/replying trash.

Say all these without crying.

Exactly the same way some fellas are pocketing bullion van dollars to sing praises of a leaking nyash

There is absolutely nothing like middle belt.....


The political division is between the North and the south....

This is the moment for the south to produce a president..... Yahaya Bello should wait and contest with Atiku in the year 2031....

Really?

Feeling funky?

Only if you can extend this ideology of "not quoting me" to other okoros.

Because as it stands today, just one okoro has created over 5000 monickers because of me on this forum, go and find out.

Yeroba dumping yeroba for plate of amala

Lol, this one obviously doesn't understand English. I wonder where the "dumping" is coming from.

Dumping is allowing someone's nyash to dump some shiit freely without control at all,hence needing a pampers just like MTN (everywhere you go)

Who's the mouth piece for Northeast?
NC are craving for it,
SE are slaving for it,
But
SW are getting it.

My SW is causing the problem, they are the ones making the North to also fight for the same position.
They should give it to the East, while Vice president to NC

Is the PEE-POO's man not northern ATM?

I wonder how much food (money) Yahaya Bello FFK fed FFK to get him on his side.
