2023: It’s turn of Southern Nigeria to produce President, says Akeredolu....
Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has called on the Leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to zone the presidential position to the Southern Part of the country.
Akeredolu made call in a statement, tagged “Our Party, APC, Must Tread The Path Of Equity”, which was made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Akure.
According to him, “Our party just elected officers on the established principle of giving every part of the country an important stake in the political calculus.”
He explained that the focus has now shifted to the process which would culminate in the participation of the party in the general elections in 2023.
“All lovers of peace and freedom must do everything to eschew tendencies which may predispose them to taking decisions which promote distrust and lead to a crisis, the end of which nobody may be able to predict.
“The leadership of the party ensured that the principle of rotational representation guided its decision at the just-concluded convention,” he said.
Akeredolu, who said party chairmanship position had gone to the North and all other offices have been filled, said it is the time the leaders of the party must make a categorical statement, devoid of equivocation, on the pattern of succession.
