Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has said the next president of Nigeria must be from the Southwest region.

Akeredolu, who is the Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, said, “We have said it on the people’s behalf. The presidency must come to this Southwest. The governors in the Southwest have spoken. By the grace of God, some of us believe that the train of this country must have a smooth ride.”

He said the governors in the region believed that the train of the country must have a smooth ride.

He noted this during the visit of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, to delegates in the state ahead of the party presidential primary election.

He said, “Think about Nigeria. Think about the investment over the years. Think about competence. You must look at the background of everybody, the reach and capacity. You have our good wishes as you proceed. Only God enthroned.”



He added: “Your visit is different. We must be able to accept the fact that Asiwaju has done a lot. No doubt, we have noticed that Asiwaju has crisscrossed the length and breadth of this country.



“And let us all be frank to ourselves. His reach is not something you can get easily, his reach as one of the founding fathers of our party. Many aspirants have been here, but your reach has also made it possible to have one of the special assistants to the President here. That will speak volumes.

Nigeria's president must come from South East. And the anointed one is Peter Obi.

Nigerians let us vote for Peter Obi for president 2023. He's the only one who can take Nigeria to greater heights.

Akeredolu Is a mad man

Obasanjo ruled for 8yrs, VP Osibanjo is currently the vice so it is only fair for other part of south to produce the next president

God1000:
lol, where have you been? Peter obi has left PDP

Cyntie55:
Peter Obi said in his resignation statement and I quote "My commitment to rescuing Nigeria remains firm, even if the route differs"

No matter the party he belongs now. Please let us vote for him. Pls.

God1000:
well, he can still contest under the platform of other parties but what are his chances of winning?

Cyntie55:
His chances of winning is if you and I vote for him. Let us say NO to that 1k given to us by these elite parties (APC & PDP) during election.

If truly Nigerians want a better future then let us leave sentiment, tribalism, ethnicity, religion and let us vote for Peter Obi.
