Ahmed Lawal, Organising Secretary of APC in Adamawa has insisted that power must shift to the southern part of Nigeria in 2023.
He stressed the need to demonstrate fairness in the polity, adding that the southern part of Nigeria supported the Northern part to retain power for eight years.
He advised the APC to ensure power rotation in 2023 to enhance national cohesion.
He rejected comments from those he called “some selfish northern politicians” intent on shortchanging the south in the scheme of power play.
The organising secretary said that the proponents of power retention in the north are selfish as they cannot claim to be speaking for the entire north.
It would be recalled that Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Dr Junaid Mohammed, another politician from Kano at different interviews said that rotation of presidency in 2023 to southern Nigeria is not automatic.
