2023: Fayose Dumps Atiku For Southern Presidency

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has urged that presidency be transferred to the south, arguing that it would be unjust for a Northerner to take over after President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight years in office.

Fayose, an ally of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, was one of those who ran for the opposition party’s presidential ticket, which was won by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Following the primaries, the PDP urged all stakeholders to band together and work together to depose the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, the PDP began experiencing post-primary instability after Atiku nominated Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate as opposed to the recommendations of certain party stakeholders.

After Goddsday Orubebe, former Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, had left the opposition party, Fayose on Wednesday, declared that it is the southern region’s turn to produce a president.

“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’.”

Hours before Fayose’s tweet, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State had said Wike would have been a better running mate to Okowa.
