"APC had zoned the presidency to northern Nigeria based on the agreement that in the year 2023, the presidency should go to the south.”
Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has shown his support for the next president to come from the southern region of the country.
This comes two days after Southern governors in a meeting in Lagos State agreed that the region should produce Nigeria’s next president.
Zulum speaking during a television interview on Wednesday stated that "the presidency should go to the south in the year 2023 because the unity of our country is very important.
He added that "APC had zoned the presidency to northern Nigeria based on the agreement that in the year 2023, the presidency should go to the south.”
It is the right of southern leaders to call for a power shift to the region, he said.
Zulum however stated that based on politics, leaders of all regions “are supposed to meet and discuss this issue among ourselves, among the political class.”
