This troubled soul again? He is always at war with himself.

helinues:
The rotation is between the political parties not Nigerians. Stop getting things twisted

Need a job?

Yes, but we've not gotten to that stage yet and it will take us a while to get there

Says an irredeemable and Unmarketable product that cannot market himself to the geopolitical regions on why he is a good choice not to talk of being a better choice.

Elzazzi:
Tinubu is good man and you’re just a hater. He is the messiah for the masses. Even Reno attested to it previously.

Lol 😂
Omo, Reno don cast gan sha. Unfortunate!

Omoleye Sowore the boys scout leader has spoken....i wonder between him and Atiku who has contested for the presidency more...

Quest7777:
This is theoretically correct.
But in reality, we all know that in Nigeria, Ethnicity is far stronger than Nationality. So majority are OK with whoever that is president, provided he is from their tribe.

Since politics is a game of numbers, the minorities will hardly smell Presidency except it is rotated.

Funnily, are you aware this pattern started as far as from the days of the bible, in isreal not all tribe became king

Let me also add . If we can find a great president , let him rule for 20years ! Finding a great leader in Nigeria is harder than finding a mustard seed on a beach

I'd have agreed with him, assuming that ours is a country that has less fundamental flaws, and the majority of the citizens have developed minds.

Unfortunately, ours is a country with too many fundamental flaws, with the majority of the citizens having undeveloped/underdeveloped minds; thus, the reason why mundane sentiments like religion and tribe have always reigned supreme over principle and conviction.

What we have now is rotation between Southwest and Northwest

I have maintain my stance against zoning .That is why I want Atiku to win so that we can finally destroy this nonsense zoning consideration. Zonal is what is even affecting Obi chances right now. Now he is negotiating for what nobody will accept. Let kill zoning in 2027.

Today na him Dey shamelessly dance skelewu for Tinubu all over the media space.

If I have a good president in Nigeria who can run this country very well, I don’t care where he comes from.
“That is what the majority of the Nigerian people are aspiring for"

I don't agree with Sowore here, bcoz it is common knowledge that majority of Nigerians prefer the status quo, that's why they wouldn't vote for credible candidates.

I totally agree with this point and if atiku wins the next presidential election,that will be the end of all this so called 8 years rotational presidency.
This arrangement has given us the 2 worst presidents ,sadly all of them from APC .

WizardOfNG:
No disrespect but Sowore is a political dullard and this is the reason most Nigerians lost respect for him massively.

I don't so political correctness and make bold to say rotation between North and South must be sacrosanct because of the reality of Nigeria, and how her region and people prefer to live, which means a Northern leader is unlikely to ever lead in ways that can satisfy Southerners and vice versa.

Sowore is not even smart enough to note the core North believes in a welfarist system of Governance, like throwback communism, where everything and everyone is sustained by Federal government funding.

Whereas most region of the South are socio-captalist in leaning.

With how fundamentalist a lot of Northerners are, no Northern leader will ever gain power to then be overtly socio-captalist. He/she will never be allowed to lead in that way by Northerners.

Similarly, and by inclination, no Southern leader can force begging-bowl communism on most Southerners who believe in competitively bettering themselves, with education and "japa" plus business ownership etal, to thrive and gain the best things life has to offer.

We have essentially two very different and ideological dissimilar nation joined together like Israel and Iran for example where Ayatollah cannot lead Israel and Netinyahu cannot make decisions for Iranians.

Meaning it is best for power to rotate between North and South in Nigeria so both region get what they want till evolution does the rest to get all regions to independently attain the lives they wish to live.

Sowore is just a glorified student Union leader and unintelligent populist who believes politically correct rhetoric makes him a more desirable leadership candidate. Nothing more.

He should go and have a conversation with the Hausa man below to see if he can convince him that Northerners will allow a "meritoriously competent" Northern leader to transform Nigeria as Southerners will want considering the animosity he encountered trying to get Northern leaders to see the need to educate and train Northern kids , with STEM, to develop the North.

did you miss this part of the article or you read just the heading and wrote a long epistle based on the heading?

Sowore said the country should be interested in a president who will run Nigeria better, irrespective of his region.

“If I have a good president in Nigeria who can run this country very well, I don’t care where he comes from.

He added, “Zoning the presidency to the worst character in the country is not going to make you get anywhere.

can you negate the points he raised?

Oga! Your own self too much. Na everything you dey disagree with. I com begin dey fear....softly softly oooo.

ElSudani:
The solution is a weakened center and more power to the states. If you want to run down your own state then the people will know where to take their grievances.

how is the highlighted the solution?

Most times, partues' choice becomes the people's choice.

Israel is a Nation, but Nigeria is a Geographical Contraption of diverse ethnic Nationalities.

Moreover what we have in Nigeria is Democracy.

For your mind now, you have schooled my presidential candidate with your epistle.
Continue

Everyone except you know that a competent leader, irrespective of tribe or religion is more desirable.

Although this is not possible because of our divergence.

Just like you rightly put, Nigeria is made up of more than one countries lumped together.

ElSudani:
The solution is a weakened center and more power to the states. If you want to run down your own state then the people will know where to take their grievances.

The current balablu government is trying to some extents to empower the states through local government autonomy, tax reform and increasing state allocations.

But he is doing only nothing to weaken the centre

Warmaterial:
he's more qualified than all the aspirants. And his type is what Nigeria need if the truly want things to change.

Because he talks a lot, so he's most qualified?
Weldone o!

Thank God we agree on this. You cannot make Britons live like Talibans or vice versa.

Not possible as both should not even attempt to be in the same nation which is akin to what 'One Nigeria' has always attempted to do with the collective failure of that redundant exercise now hurting us all badly today.

I bid you you a progressive and fruitful day Sir.

PlasmaTV:
I agree with this.
Of all the rotation, Yaradua was a great leader while boo harry was awful.

Obsanjo was awesome while Tinubu is a conundrum that doesn't understand himself.

Character, leadership skills, empathy and common sense should come first before tribe or religion.

Helinues and Yarimo, what's your take on this screenshot?

Brahamimo:
He lacks what it takes to be the president. He's yet to attain the maturity needed to be a president

What maturity trait do you want him to possess?

Leme help you:

He is not over aged

He has no pot belly

He hasn't been appointed into any political office and has not embezzled public funds.

He is not in the wanted list of any anti graft agencies.

Bruv, I have told you many times not to quote me. I Won't dignify your obdurate mischief-making with a serious response. Never.

So Rotational Presidency makes sense in Nigeria context.

"He has not been appointed into any political office "

Can u now see why he cannot be the president?
He lacks the experience.
