“Talking about competence or most qualified, was President MBuhari the most qualified Nigerian when he ascended the Presidency? Now that it is the turn of the South, precisely Southeast, he is mouthing most qualified and competent...
The ruling All Progressives Congress has distanced itself from a statement credited to one its chieftains, Mallam Mamman Daura, that competence and not zoning or rotation should determine who succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Asked of the party’s position on zoning, Nabena said: “APC is preoccupied now with the business of reconciliation and unity. 2023 is still far and we are sure that when we get to the river, we shall surely know how to cross it.” While the apex Igbo socio-culural group described the Northern elder as a major beneficiary of power rotation, IPOB faulted him.
“The statement by Mamman Daura is, to say the least, self-serving. He should’ve said this before the 2019 elections. They ganged up to push President Jonathan aside because they believed it was the turn of the North to produce the President. “At his age, Mamman Daura should stand for equity and fairness. His latest stance goes against the grain of the nation’s Constitution which enshrines equality for all people and sections of the country.”
