The former Governor of Ekiti State,Peter Ayodele Fayose has said that Nigeria needs a southern presidency in 2023.
Fayose who made this known on Wednesday on his Twitter handle said that the current president in the country, President Muhammad Buhari is from Northern part of the country and he is serving his second term as a president which he said gives way for a southern presidency next year.
President Muhammad Buhari got the mantle of leadership as a President of Nigeria in 2015 and was re-elected in 2019 where he beat Atiku Abubakar to clinch his second term in office.
Atiku has emerged as the Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party,PDP at their presidential primaries held in Abuja last month.
Reacting to Atiku’s emergence, Fayose said that it is high time for South to produce next president after President Muhammad Buhari.
His tweet, “The PDP Constitution provides for a rotational Presidency.
“Section 3(c) provides that the Party shall pursue its aims & objectives by “adhering to the policy of the rotation & zoning of Party & Public elective offices in pursuance of the principle of equity,justice and fairness.”
“The current President of Nigeria is a 2-term Northern Presidency, thus implying that it MUST be a Southern Presidency in 2023 or NOTHING.
“Awa ‘South’ lo kan’. Nigerians should await details soon”.
