El-Rufai: I Won’t Support Northerner for Presidency in 2023
Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai yesterday agreed that the next president of Nigeria should come from the southern part of the country.
On August 10, 2019, specifically, el-Rufai warned against zoning principle, urging the country “to choose competence over zoning when electing its president.” However, in a radio programme yesterday, the governor said he would not support a northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. “In Nigerian politics, there is a system of rotation, in which everyone agrees that if the north rules for eight years, the south will rule for eight years,” el-Rufai said.
