OpEd: Southern Nigeria And The Delusion Of 2023 Presidency By Peter Omonua | Sahara Reporters
He was alleged to have responded that the Southeast did not really matter in the calculation, that as long as he could convince his people in Yoruba land and they could get the northern support, they would cruise to victory .
Does southern Nigeria really think that a Northerner overseeing the election of Nigeria’s presidency will award the winning to a southerner? Whoever thinks that has obviously not followed the history of leadership races in Nigeria.
“See, it was a widely and keenly contested election . At the end, one person won, and that person happens to be a Fulani man” I must appreciate Governor Wike and his G-5 governors for their tenacity and daring to stand up for what is right. It is not even enough for the G-5 governors to insist on Ayu’s resignation; it should be an insistence that Atiku himself, being a northerner can not stand for election to replace another northerner.
If all attempts to replace one Fulani with another Fulani fail through the ballot, they are ready to have their military boys roll out the tanks and take over with the barrels of the gun. The populace and the international community will call it “Military Takeover” but it is essentially an elongation of Fulani rule.
