Former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani on Monday, declared that it would be unfair to deny the Southwest geopolitical zone the presidency in 2023.

Sani, a member of the eighth Senate, said it would amount to ingratitude on the part of the North not to support the Southwest for the presidency.


According to him, the Southwest geopolitical zone helped in uprooting the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015.

Speaking with journalists in Kaduna on Monday, the former lawmaker argued that it would be unfair for the north after eight years to hold on power beyond 2023.

“It will be a serious threat to the future and peace of the country if the Northern region continues to dominate the leadership of the nation because of her numerical strength.

“The President should caution those from the North eyeing that position. Power needs to rotate to other regions; the Southwest worked tirelessly to remove PDP from office and helped to bring Nigeria to where it is today and deserve support from the North come 2023.

“If federal character is applied on appointments and other areas, it should also be applicable in the political space. Therefore, the North should be fair and magnanimous to all and give all regions, a sense of belonging”.

Keep praying there will be Nigeria by 2023.

Also pray that your family is still complete by then.

Pray that your community will not be a cattle ranch by then.

Keep praying because your people could be refugees in Dahomey by 2023.

No other region is contesting. Igbos want Biafra or death. So, it's only between Yorubas lead by Tinubu and Yorubas mislead by Obasanjo/Afenifebi

Some people who saw shehu sani as a hero will start calling him name.
Anyone who aligns with their hate narratives becomes their hero and anytime you deviate you're called all sort of names.

The North only wants to cause so much division in the south, that 2023 would go up North by default..

BigBabyJesus:


The north has never divided the south, it is the Yorubas that have been betraying the south.

Buhari has given them VP and Speaker -number 2 and number 4 positions.

Buhari has appointed them into his govt.

When the north tells them in 2023 that they are ungrateful and greedy they will remind them of the positions they enjoyed under Buhari.

The thing is this, everybody plays politics with his own clique.

Buhari's clique includes tinubu's camp....kwankwaso and tambulwal's clique includes the current SE and SS leaders.

What will happen is simple...APC will do primary and nominate a yoruba....PDP will do primary and nominate a northerner...both will choose their vp from the proper regions according to their calculation. They will sell their mandate to the people and the people will vote.

As buhari said recently....nobody should expect to be handed presidency on a platter

CrimeKsmart:


I like your last sentence. Even when SW knows they naturally deserve it, people like Tinubu are still working hard to get it. This is to tell you that SW is doing everything to get that ticket and not having this "entitlement mentality".
