Immediate past Secretary-General of Arewa Consultative Forum , Chief Anthony Sani has tackled Ohanaeze Indigbo for saying President Muhammadu Buhari is a product of rotational presidency.
He noted that, though former President Olusegun Obasanjo attempted to enthrone politics if zoning when he brought late President Umaru Yar’Adua to succeed him, but the arrangement did not last.Anthony Sani in his personal reaction to Ohanaeze’s position on zoning, however said that, those selling the idea of rotational presidency, should either find their way if making it a law or design a winning game plan to secure their needed electoral mandate.
“I agree that the annulment of elections of June 12, 1993, morally blackmailed the nation into fielding General Obasanjo of PDP and Chief Olu Falai of AD/APP in 1999 to make up for the annulment and death of the winner, Chief MKO Abiola. I also agree that President Obasanjo wanted to enthrone politics of zoning and rotation when he foisted President Yar’Adua on the nation.
“In 2019, of about 76 presidential candidates, about 70 were southerners. All these show there is no national consensus on rotation and zoning that is binding on political parties.
