Senator Shehu Sani has said that, despite the agitation from the South-West and South -East, the presidency may again return to the North in 2023 presidency.
According to Sani, the two regions must unite and decide on one candidate for the election, id it will stand any chance against the North
Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Senate from, said this in Abuja on Saturday at an interactive session organised by the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, FCT Council.
He said, “It will be unfair for other sections of the country if one section uses its topographical or demographic advantage to hold onto power, knowing full well that it was not the topography or demographic advantage that delivered them power.
“Rotation of power is what I prescribe and stand for, whether that power goes to the South-East or South-West, it is dependent on the people of the South.

“What I will say is that there is a possibility of producing a northern as President in 2023 if the South-East and the South-West remain divided in their resolve on the governance of the country.
“It is this division that will be exploited by those who are proposing the issue of competence.”
He added, “If power moves to the South-East, it will be the final defeat of secessionists and also a formal end to the Nigerian civil war.”
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) chieftain said that if the South-East and the South-West failed to heed his warning, they would lose out on the 2023 presidency.
Sani said, “Also, if one major party supports the rotation of power and another refuses to support, there will still be trouble.
“So, realising the respect for rotation of power will be dependent on three factors.
“There will be the common resolve of the people of the South that power should move to the South.
“Secondly, the common resolve of the South-East and South-West that this is where it will go to and the third is that the major party must accept this as a reality.’
“These three things are inevitable and one of them that is not considered will still end up with a northern presidency in 2023.”
