Despite emergence of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a Northerner, as the Presidential flagbearer of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), Southern Governors are still insisting on a President from the zone.
Chairman of the Southern Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has charged the All Progressive Congress, (APC) to work hard to retain power by rotating the Presidency to the South.
Akeredolu, who was on Wednesday evening announced as the Chairman of Security and Compliance for the APC special convention pointed out the need for the South to have the Presidency next year.
In a short message via his Personal Facebook Page on Thursday, the Governor re-echoed the position of his colleagues in the Southern Nigeria Governors’ Forum that power should be rotated to the South.
Governor Akeredolu noted that the APC must be ready to rotate power, adding that to retain power, the party must rotate to the South.
“APC must work to retain power. We must rotate power to retain power !!! Rotate to the South. Shikena,” The message reads.
