It’s North-Central’s turn to produce President – Niger Assembly
Adebayo Ayinde, Minna
The Niger State House of Assembly, on Thursday, said the successor to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), should come from the North-Central zone.
The lawmakers also endorsed the presidential bid of the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
The assembly took the decision when 25 lawmakers from Kogi State under the leadership of the Speaker, Mathew Olusola, paid an advocacy visit to solicit support for Bello.
The Niger State lawmakers noted that it was time for the zone to come together to support Bello’s ambition, noting that “as a young and vibrant governor, and with the ‘not too young to run bill’ already assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari, he (Bello) remains the best candidate for the number one position in 2023.”
The summit was, however, held amidst low turnout. It was learnt that though all the South-West governors, except Governor Gboyega Oyetola who was represented, shunned the meeting.
Daily Trust reports that there has been a controversy over the summit following the decision of the Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, to opt-out of it.
Our correspondent learnt that some Yoruba leaders decided to shun the summit following suspicion that it was convened to champion Tinubu presidency and true to their suspicion, discussion at the summit centred on him with speakers and dignitaries making a case for him.
However, at the summit held at the International Conference Centre (ICC) of the University of Ibadan, most of the invited dignitaries and Yoruba leaders were absent.
