But he has the powers to circumvent the constitution on Federal character on his appointments?

Please where are we with this?

This is a democracy.

The court should explain if there is a breach of the constitution or not.

…Say President’s appointments since 2015 in breach of 1999 Constitution, Federal Character principle

…Demand reversal of lopsided appointments, as Court fixes July 10 for hearing

Elder statesmen and leaders of socio-cultural groups in Southern Nigeria, on Monday, dragged President Muhammadu Buhari before the Federal High Court Abuja, alleging that the appointments he made since inception of his administration in 2015, were in breach of the 1999 Constitution and the Federal Character Principle.

“Whether the power to appoint Nigeria’s Armed Services Chiefs, other Commanders or top officials of the respective Armed Forces Higher and High Commands’ General Staff namely the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) and Chief of Airforce Staff (CA8); the other statutorily established Nigerian National Security agencies or services, namely: The Inspector General of the Nigerian Police (1GP), the Directors General (DGs) of the State Security Service (SSS), National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA); the Heads of National Security Associated Federal Government (FG) establishments, namely the Nigerian Civil Defence and Security Corps (NCDSC), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Nigerian Customs and Excise Service, the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS), the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS), the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA), the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Ministers of Defence, Interior, Police and the respective National Security ministries’ Permanent Secretaries’ which is vested in the 1st Defendant, has been lawfully exercised by the 1st Defendant since the inception of his administration and whether these appointments are in compliance with 81(2), 814(3)(4), 8217(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

It's better to jaw jaw than war war!

FOLLOWING a call for a referendum on the restructuring of the Nigerian federation by the pan-Northern Nigeria group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), key Yoruba and Igbo groups and leaders have expressed their readiness for the exercise.

Secretary-general of the ACF, Murtala Aliyu, had on Thursday told a national newspaper that “the North is not afraid of restructuring.

“What we want is to define what it is that we want. If we want to be in Nigeria and if we don’t want to be in Nigeria, let’s sit down and agree.

“We can restructure. We can become a confederation. We can devolve powers. We can have state police and all that we want.

“But I can tell you that the thinking of the North now is that we should have a referendum if we want Nigeria or not.

“If we want Nigeria, then, we must sit down and see how Nigeria will work. If we need the country, let’s sit down and decide that we need the country first.

“Then we can now sit down and decide on how our country can work for all of us.

“If we decide that we don’t want the country as it is, then… I mean, countries have gone apart, Czechoslovakia and quite several other countries, including Sudan, had gone apart. We don’t want to go to war. The North is not going to be intimidated again to accept anything.

“We have to sit down and resolve whether we want this federation or this country as it is.”

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Afenifere, in separate reactions, told Saturday Tribune on Friday that what the ACF called for fit into their own demand, on the future of Nigeria.

We are ready for it – Ohanaeze

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo described the call by the ACF as a welcome development. The president-general of the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Chief John Nwodo, said: “Ohanaeze welcomes the idea of a referendum. This is what IPOB has been calling for – a referendum for the aggregating geopolitical zones or the people to decide

whether to still remain in the present unwieldy marriage of convenience or go their separate ways.

“ACF is just talking because they know that there is no provision for a referendum in the constitution and that it will inevitably lead to the republics of Biafra and Oduduwa which the North has been dreading.”

On restructuring, Chief Nwodo, who spoke through his media manager, Emeka Attamah, said: “the term is very clear to everybody unless they are pretending. They are just trying to buy time as they know it must come to pass.

“The earlier the ACF faces reality and restructuring is carried out, the better for all components of the country and the country at large. They are just putting off the good, not evil, day.”

It’s a shame descendants of those who wanted confederation in 1953 no longer understand federalism –Afenifere

On its part, the pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, Afenifere, said it had a simple message for the ACF: “bring it on.”

Afenifere’s spokesperson, Mr Yinka Odumakin, was unsparing in his group’s response.

He restated the position of Yorubaland on the issue of togetherness.

He said: “It is shameful that descendants of those who demanded for confederation in 1953 are telling us they do not understand federalism which restructuring is all about in 2020.

“We have been advocating that referendum should be in our constitution and we are not scared of holding one on the future of Nigeria.”

Referendum is the only alternative to war –Gani Adams

In his own reaction, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Gani Adams, said he welcomed the call by the ACF, emphasising that a referendum is the only alternative to war.

He suggested that each geopolitical zone should decide what it wants. He told Saturday Tribune that a referendum “is the peaceful way of deciding should we continue to be a nation called Nigeria or not.”

According to him, “it is very clear that the majority of the Yoruba people want a new nation and I respect their views as a leader. That is a peaceful way we can have a peaceful nation.

“Instead of going to war, we should have a referendum for Nigerians to decide if we can be citizens of this country or not. On the basis of that, each region should do its referendum, to decide.

“ So, I commend the statement coming from the Arewa Consultative Forum and I support that move as the Aare Ona Kakanfo. I support the Yoruba people having their own nation, in a way that will not involve war or crisis.”

ACF’s call is good news –Ladi Williams (SAN)

Chief Ladi Williams (SAN), eldest son of the late legal luminary, Chief Frederick Rotimi Alade Williams (SAN), said he was happy at the news that the North is ready for the renegotiation of Nigeria.

Chief Williams called the ACF’s proposal the most sensible move from the North in history.

He suggested that for allegations of bias to be completely removed from the referendum, global and continental bodies like the United Nations (UN) and African Union (AU) should superintend the exercise.

He proposed that the country should be broken into six geopolitical units to engender healthy competition.

Each geo-unit, according to him, should also have its Supreme Court, to eliminate the kind of bias currently rocking appointments to the singular apex court in Abuja, where President Muhammadu Buhari has been accused of politicising and ethnicising the lifting of justices of the Court of Appeal to the highest court in the land.

He said: “This (proposal for a referendum) is fantastic. In my humble view, the North is being sensible for the first time. Britain, which foisted the current arrangement on us, is even talking about Scotland seeking to go.

“Referendum and everyone working on his own, it means each man will govern himself. All these complaints of nepotism and ethnicity won’t be there, that people from a particular zone in the country are being put in total charge of the security and so on. For me, I have always said if the entire military leadership is from a village, I won’t have a problem with it, as long as they can govern well and do the job very well. But it must also be noted that no village has the monopoly of competent people.

“We can now have healthy competition. We should have the referendum, conducted by United Nations and African Union, to avoid the situation of some people claiming it has been rigged from the beginning, like Trump is accusing the Democrats now.

“The proposal is fantastic. Nobody will say he is a second-class citizen again because an Egba man would now be dealing with an Ekiti man. They are both Yoruba. The problem will now be how to manage the minority questions in each area.

“The restructuring should be on geo-political basis. Each zone should have its Supreme Court. The Supreme Court in the South West can be located either in Lagos or Ibadan. I am from Abeokuta, but from the perspective of convenience, Lagos or Ibadan would do. All the administrative capitals of the past can be utilised because the infrastructure would still be there.

“So, there won’t be the situation we have now that President Buhari is delaying the appointment of an Ondo person for someone from the North to become her senior again at the Supreme Court. The only way to reduce tension is for each zone to have its own (Supreme Court).

“On record, I agree with the ACF and this is the most sensible arrangement to come out of the North, in my humble view.”

We’re not afraid of anyone leaving Nigeria –Coalition of Northern Groups

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) said it is in support of a referendum as suggested by the ACF, adding that the North is not afraid if any groups want to leave Nigeria.

It said, however, that the referendum must follow the due process.

The national president of the CNG, Yerima Shettima, in an interview with Saturday Tribune, noted that Nigeria is a signatory to a United Nations law which allows any part of a country which wants to exit a union to go inasmuch as the necessary steps are taken.

He said it was unfortunate that the Nigerian government was foot-dragging on this.

According to him, it is time the government domesticated this agreement by amending the constitution so that this provision would be included.

Shettima criticised groups “who want to drag the country to war simply because they want self-rule or self-determination.”

He said: “Let there be exit for whoever wants to go, but living together as a united country is better for everyone. I share the same sentiment with the ACF. Oftentimes, other regions say the North is afraid of division, split, to the extent that we are called all sorts of names: We are lazy. We are this or that.

But the fact of the matter remains that it is very sad and very unfortunate that the Nigerian government has refused to abide by the law of the United Nations.

“There is a provision of the UN charter that guarantees rights of nationalities under international law and Nigeria is one of the signatories of that document. In normal circumstances, going by that arrangement, it is expected that Nigeria ought to have domesticated it in our constitution.

“Even though some of us have reservations about the 1999 Constitution – because we feel that it should be amended – the Nigerian government should stand by that agreement and create room for the exit of whichever zone wants to go so that it would not appear as if the North is afraid. For us, if somebody wants to go, let that person go, like the secretary general of the ACF said. We don’t have any problem with any individual or group leaving, but go through the processes.

“The country should not be dragged into war. There are processes. If the Nigerian government refuses to acknowledge that all that is needed to be done is to write back to the UN, let the UN compel the Nigerian government to amend its constitution to abide by that agreement.

“Let there be exit for whoever decides to go. That way, we will not divide at once. There are certain conditions that have to be met, like asset sharing and so on.

"The northern body acknowledged that the cracks in the country were unhealthy, but noted that the nation would overcome such" Arewa Consultative Forum
****************************************************************************************************

The northern leaders know what they are doing, and the southern leaders do not know what they are doing.

The northern body acknowledged that the cracks in the country were unhealthy, but noted that the nation would overcome such.

You have been patching the crack for 60 years...so how many more years do you need to overcome it.

Don't you see the crack is getting too wide?

How can a section of the country control all the arms of government and all the major economic sectors?

If the north were served in this manner by a southern president will ACF caution their leaders if they made similar proclamation?

Inclusiveness and equal respect for all citizens of a country breeds patriotism and love for the country.

You don't force people to be patriotic.

lder Nathaniel C.U. Okoro, popularly known as Nat Okoro, is the first indigenous Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).

The 89-year-old man was reluctant about discussing Nigeria’s 60th independence anniversary because according to him, “post-independence Nigeria has been a mess, precipitated by envy, jealousy and agitations by regions to dominate one another. Okoro who will be 90 on February 26, 2021, later gave in to Daily Trust demand.

Where were you at independence in 1960?

I was a traffic officer at NRC.

What was the general feeling like on October 1, 1960?

When you talk about Nigeria, you embarrass me. Which independence are you talking about? Is it pre-independence or post-independence? In pre-independence Nigeria, my best friend was from Ilorin. His name was Laisi Bello. His father was a traditional ruler in Umuahia. The Mayor of Enugu was Umar Altine, a northerner. We didn’t know differences. That was the Nigeria that I knew; not Nigeria of political correctness.

What do you mean by political correctness?

You have to be politically correct to get something. You have to have connection. People like us will never rise in today’s Nigeria. I was the first Nigerian Traffic and Commercial Officer of NRC at Kaduna. The Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, gave me my first radiogram. Sardauna never slept in Kaduna over the weekend, and he always travelled by train. I planned for most of his trips. I would go and discuss with him. One day he met me at a shop in Kaduna and asked me, “What are you doing here?” I told him I was looking for a radiogram. He told the sales clerk to give it to me and he paid for it. It was during the war that I lost the radiogram.

I also knew the Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, very well. My uncle, Raymond Njoku, was the first Minister of Transport. He took over from Tafawa Balewa. But now Nigeria is empty and that is why we are not moving. God created Nigeria as a pasture. Nigeria is a beautiful valley in the shadow of death and you want me to celebrate it; celebrate what?

What do you think has gone wrong?

Jealousy stepped into Nigerian affairs. Nigeria is suffering from six sins. We have the sin of deception and brinkmanship; entitlement spirit. Where are you coming from? We have the sin of collaboration with evil. The third is the sin of compromise based on presumptions. Some people are willing to trade their fathers and mothers for money.

Another one is the sin of conspiracy; because out of jealousy, you don’t like me, you go and conspire with someone to make sure that you pull me down. Then there is the sin of betrayal and treachery. Until we address them, there is no Nigeria.

Are you saying a particular region became jealous of another?

Absolutely! No Igbo man is afraid of anybody; but they are willing to sell. See Uwalaka (referring to our photographer), if you ask him to sell you, he would sell you because of money. The Yoruba are treacherous. The South South is very conspiratorial. They don’t like the Igbo man, they think Igbo people would dominate them and so they are willing to work with the Hausa. I have written too much about the Igbo. I have written something about the politics of dimwitism. You know a dimwit? I have written the theory of dimwitism based on the politics of desperation.

From your submission, is it a case of northerners fighting southerners?

Not really; but it is within. Have you read Lord Lugard’s Amalgamation Theory? Try and get a copy; that tells you all. One, there is nothing called Nigeria. It never existed. There were two companies that were amalgamated. You don’t amalgamate nations. A nation is made up of one race, one religion, one tradition and one culture. You can never create a nation of two races, two religions; it is impossible. So that is part of our problem.

How did you find yourself at NRC?

I escaped from secondary school and started as staff clerk on level 7 or 8 or so. It wasn’t that I was more brilliant than anybody; I worked hard. The motto of the school I went to is: “Work Hard, Play Hard, Keep Straight”. That is Government Secondary School (GSS), Owerri. The motto is what has been guiding my life. So when I retired from NRC as MD, I didn’t have N5,000 in savings. In fact, I built my house in the village through my wife. She was then a part time distributor with the Flour Mills of Nigeria.

When you ‘escaped’ from secondary school to join NRC, did you go back to complete your studies?

No. Everything I did was in NRC. I went to schools of hard knocks. I told you I hold a number of certificates in railway.

How did you become the first MD of NRC?

I give the credit to General Muhammadu Buhari who was the Head of State then. He was at that time visiting government parastatals with his Deputy, General Babatunde Idiagbon. They went to the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) when Bamanga Tukur was its acting General Manager (GM). They came to the NRC and met me acting. They went to other agencies under the Ministry of Transport and met substantive MDs, but the two biggest: NRC and NPA, their GMs were acting. So they must have called the minister to find out what was happening. In the case of Bamanga, they had no problem. He was politically correct. So they promoted him without problem. So when it came to the NRC, six of us who were directors were considered qualified. We were in Malaga, a coastal town in Spain; then London on a Friday when we got information that the Minister of Transportation wanted to see us on Monday by 10:00am.

We thought the meeting was the usual one that directors usually had with the minister. So we travelled back, and on Monday, we went straight to the permanent secretary’s office. The minister informed us that government was anxious to fill the vacant position of GM of NRC, and that the six of us were all qualified. Meanwhile I was the acting MD. My first reaction was to resign. Then another voice told me, “If you do that you have helped them.” Of the six, I was the only one without a degree, but I was the only one who had trained two years in civil engineering, two years in mechanical, three years in operations and one year in management and accounting within the railway system. So my spirit told me I had advantage.

So we were made to sit for an examination. There were 10 questions and we had one hour to answer them. Thank God I am a very fast writer and a very fast thinker. When I saw the questions, I knew all the answers. Within 57 minutes, I finished.

We had a quarterly meeting where my appointment was announced. The minister said, “Gentlemen, I have good news and bad news for all of you. The good news is that one of you has been chosen to become the MD. Council has approved the appointment of one of you as MD/CEO.” Truly it didn’t mean anything to me. I didn’t know I was going to be chosen. One, I wasn’t politically correct. Two, I was the least qualified in terms of paper. Everybody was expecting one Babatunde to be appointed. He too was so sure. He made a first class in engineering, but he forgot that he was only focused on civil engineering. So that was how the position was filled. So it was Buhari who made it possible for me to become MD.

With so much emphasis on paper qualification today, what does it portend for us as a nation?

We are not going anywhere. Like I told you, we were two companies that were amalgamated. He (Lord Lugard) gave us 100 years to test. When the time came, the military refused to organise a roundtable. That is why Nigeria is in trouble.

How can we douse this tension and cement the relationship?

You have to deal with the mind-sets of the people first. Our generation is gone, your generation is gone. You now have to think of your children, to get them to know that you are not Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. You have to be a Nigerian. It is not something that can be done in a day, it would be a collective thing. You start from schools.

BIGGESThead6:
The South East is Biafra.

You are first to beg cry and weep for Burutai to send python dance if they raise their flags.

DexterousOne:
The goats we call leaders are to blame for all these

But why can't the masses demonstrate to the leaders in all SE states simultaneously for days, weeks and months as done in other places like Belarus till the SE get something from the FG, since they outlawed ipob who are fighting for this same marginalization.

This is why the northern leaders are better by far.

If a southern president tries that nonsense. They would have mobilized their youths to cause mayhem in the country. It is certain the FG will continue subjugating the SE until they revolt.

Arrewa:
I see no reason why APC will congratulate PDP for the Edo election.

Even if they are not going to challenge the election in the court. They should have maintain silence.

PDP has never congratulated APC, because any election they do not win is rigged.

Buhari taught by congratulating PDP, their supporters will change their Negative energy towards him.

The PDP wailers hate Buhari with passion no matter what he does.

I see betrayal and sabotage.

I pray APC get their head together and unite.

Tell me why the southerners and Christians should like Buhari...see the below links

Instead of uniting the country he is deliberately dividing it.

The north will never support any president from the south that have executive, judiciary and legislature under the south including NNPC, NPA, Customs, Immigration, Police, Prison, Fire service, NSDSS, Army, Airforce, SEC, NCC, NIMASA, NITDA....INEC, FIRS, NHIS, DSS, NSA, DIA etc, etc infact almost 96% of the national offices.

I believe you are even embarrassed by Buhari nepotism...

But Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in a statement, yesterday by the acting Secretary General and National Publicity Secretary, Uche Achi-Okpaga, said though it abhorred violence, it took exception to such open threat to governors of the region by the CAS who has no constitutional right to do so.

Ohanaeze said it saw the army chief’s threat as provocative coming to a region that has relative peace when he had not done anything close to that to governors of the states in North Central, North West and North East that have become theatres of war.

“While Ohanaeze Ndigbo decries violence in any form in the states, it takes particular exception to an open threat and warning to South East governors who, by the country’s constitution, are chief security officers of their states but are lame ducks in practice as all security commands come from Abuja.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo finds it particularly provocative for General Buratai to issue such a warning to governors of the South East where relative peace prevails while he has not done the same in the North Central, North West and North East which have become theatres of war, and where army posts and bases have been subjected to incessant attacks by the Boko Haram, ISWA/ISIS, bandits and Fulani herdsmen, killing and maiming Nigerian soldiers.

“We also wonders where the army chief derives the power to issue such a threat which, under the country’s constitution, can only be carried out by the National Assembly on demand by the president.

“It is surprising that an army chief, who was watching as the governor of Katsina State was negotiating and taking pictures with armed bandits, would turn round to threaten to impose a state of emergency in states where unarmed citizens are agitating against the harsh and inhuman conditions they have been subjected to by their country,” the organisation said in the statement.

Describing the threat as a glaring example of a “reckless impunity of public officers and a tacit manifestation of the vacuum in governance at the federal level,” Ohanaeze believes it was a confirmation of the authorities regard of the zone as conquered territory.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo believes the threat by Buratai is a vindication of the belief that the South East is being regarded as a conquered territory, exemplified in the army of occupation stationed in the area.”

PortHarcourt2:
Enugu is a cursed backward shithole, that's why their university is the worst in Nigeria

Thanks.

Now retire to where you belong...

PortHarcourt2:
It is very clear that UNN is the worst university in Nigeria.

...and what can you do about it...? It is funded by the federal government, that have made sure anything in the SE is ignored for lack of fund. But there are funds for other universities. When they say they want their own country you will start foaming in the mouth.

Very soon you will bring pictures of the airport in Enugu, saying it is a chicken shade...

That's what it is.

It will be very nice of more federal projects in the SE will bring embarrassment to Nigeria...

scared? what didn't happen almost 58yrs ago na now I go dey fear lol you funny best for them is biafla and we are waiting for KANU and his 5 star warships
NB: No one is holding Nigeria down for forced unity the British are the ones who want it by force because of oil so not north or anybody the world super powers are involved

You mentioned that the north are fearful. Why

58 years it took you 3 years of total combat and you had to resort to blockade and starvation...

Why don't you use the same blockade on BH?

fulanimafia:
Northerners are not supporting Boko Haram, and it's an indictment on your reasoning for you to think they are despite being at the brunt of 90% of their attacks.

Neither do they support the amnesty. Where did the bulk of criticism against the rehabilitation come from? Was it not the north east who could not bear the ridiculousness of catering for mindless killer's when they (north easterners) were only just trying to pick up the pieces of their lives?

Indeed you must face your Biafra and find how to get it through diplomatic means or the python will definitely come to party. You have no business with the "Zoo".

Tell that to the birds.

If they don't support BH, how come they gain access to the communities there, and sabotage the location of the army?

Continue deceiving yourself.

DEROX:
How will you convince the north who has the highest no of states to vote for an Igbo man. Even in 2019 Atiku was not given much northern support [b]because of fear of obi [/b]so na presidency the most precious dem go give them after all the hatred

What are you fearful off?

How can you all be afraid of people that occupy just 5 states with landmass as big as may be Niger state.

It means Nigeria cannot do without them. Or what do you think.

Please take your fearmongering somewhere else.

Do the north fear Boko haram?

fulanimafia:
What do you mean by "Boko people"

Boko Haram are terrorists from the north east, that kill northerners more than anyone else so how can they be same with all northerners?

Face Biafra and let the "Zoo" sort out her Presidency.

In your very small mind all Igbos are ipob?

Are the northerners not supporting Boko bandits? Who gives them amnesty?

Even they have to face their Biafra will the "Zoo" as you call them, mind their business and take their python dance to Boko haram that are getting closer to Abuja?

I know your deep hypocrisy will get better of you as usual in answering this question.

adekolaelect:
stay on the topic .If KANU comes hen his skull head will be useful to prepare ritual medicine .we will book for it bcs as he has many stupid supporters whoever his head is use for will get stupid and bastard money.

Which topic..? The issue was coming back after gong away....Eat yours words.

At his return this is what you got...

Lamasta:
Its a waste of time and investment for anyone from the east that wants to run for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Majority of them are full of hate except few, how can you mobilize people who are calling Nigeria a zoo to come and vote for You to become a President...

Your fearmongering and hypocrisy is highly detestable..

So Igbos are now ipob?

Why did they north get it...are they not Boko people?

You need more education and exposure, bro

Northern, Southern Leaders Resolve to Pullback Nigeria from the Brink

By Adedayo Akinwale

The Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF), Middle Belt Forum, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Afenifere and Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), have resolved to work together with the aim of pulling Nigeria from the brink.

They have also expressed their commitment to support and involve themselves in all activities targeted at improving the Nigerian constitution for the purpose of meeting the yearnings and aspirations of all Nigerian citizens.

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/09/12/northern-southern-leaders-resolve-to-pull-nigeria-from-the-brink/

If people don't respect themselves and let their greed get better of them instead of following gentleman agreement....after 2023 thing could take a different turn quickly...Hence the elders are right to meet.

One APC chieftain claims Igbos wil not be offered the president as none of them had worked enough to build bridges than Tinubu. Which bridge did Falea and Obj who came from Kuje prison build when the SW where offered in 1999? Which bridge did Tinubu build in the SE, SS and middle belt?

Anybody with conscience will agree that the South-east should have it in 2023...he says

Sorry sir, Nigeria has no conscience. Nigeria has selfishness, hypocrisy, fearmongering, sectionalism, nepotism, wickedness in high places, deception and above, are well entrenched in religious bigotry and tribalism.

Renowned anti-corruption crusader, Major-Gen. Ola Ishola-Williams (retd) has justified why the South East Nigeria deserves to produce the nation’s president in 2023. He also said Nigerians must learn to rise up against bad policies including the recent hike in fuel price, and electricity tariffs by the federal government. He spoke on other national issues in this interview with TUNDE THOMAS.

There appears to be contention between the South-East, and the South-West over who should have the 2023 presidency if it is zoned to the South. Which of the two zones do you think should have it?

My position is that it should go to the South-East. Even most people in the North have agreed that the presidency should be zoned to the South in 2023. Even a former national chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Audu Ogbeh said it. My reason for supporting it going to the South-East is very simple. A Yoruba man Olusegun Obasanjo was there for 8 years as President whether people like him or not, and now another Yoruba man, Yemi Osinbajo is there as the Vice-President, and by the time he will complete his tenure in 2023 he would have spent 8 years there. So, what does another Yoruba man want in 2023, except such a person is a greedy fellow? Tinubu or any other person reported to be showing interest from the Southwest are greedy. They should go and sit down. For equity, and justice I believe the Southeast, and the Middle-Belt should have it in 2023. What has the people of the South-east done wrong that they should not be given the opportunity to contribute their own quota to the national development? The South-east should have the Presidency while the Middle-Belt should produce the Vice -President. I fully support zoning, and since Buhari a northerner is there as the President today then it should be the turn of the South in 2023, and when it comes to the South, the South-east should have it. Anybody with conscience will agree that the South-east should have it in 2023.
