A former Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), Alhaji Abdulazeez Yari, said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would ensure power shift to the South in 2023.
The immediate past governor of Zamfara State also said he might vie for the office of the party’s national chairman should it be zoned to the North.
“As we have seen the nature of how our presidency will look like, it has to go South. The chairmanship may likely as well come to the North in preparation for that,” he said on the phone.Asked if he was one of the leaders supporting power shift to the South in 2023, Yari said: “Of course, that is how things are supposed to be.”
“If we do it now, we have like two or two and a half years to prepare for the 2023 general elections.”He added: “Well, the issue of chairmanship, it depends on how the leaders sit down and look at it. It also depends on how the zoning is decided. He said he was expecting an apology from the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria for accusing him of what he did not do.
“When I read the statement, I was shocked. I went to the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, and I said even during my adolescent period when I played football, no referee gave me a yellow card.
