APC Will Lose 2023 Election If It Disrespects Zoning Of Presidential Ticket To The South-West



I'm not a prophet of doom, but I can confidently say that given my over three decades experience, I'm afraid if the APC decides to retain power, not only the party but northerners would lose woefully... In 2010 when President Yar'Adua of blessed memory passed on, the indication that power should remain in the North was on the front burner. But the North was persuaded to allow the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to be, on condition that power would return to the north in 2015.


The All Progressives Congress (APC) has been warned not to renege on its zoning formula that cedes power to the South-West in 2023, else it risks quitting the political stage after just two terms.

Umar Duhu, pioneer National Vice Chairman of APC (North-East), dropped the warning in an exclusive chat with SaharaReporters on Monday.

He was reacting to media comments credited to Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), as saying "there's no law that mandates the ceding of power to the South-West".

Duhu also spoke on a wide range issues, and accused President Muhammadu Buhari of self-centeredness and failure to provide the right leadership for the party.

He expressed dismay at how candidates of the party contesting at various levels worked for the President's reelection, but he could not return same gesture, only asking the electorate to vote according to their conscience irrespective of party divides.

On the raging crisis involving the selection of National Assembly leadership, Duhu feels Buhari, rather than Adams Oshiomhole, should be blamed for APC's plans to foist Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila on the Senate and House of Representatives respectively.
"I don't see Oshiomhole as the originator of the problem; I've alluded that to the Commander in Chief, who is the National Leader of the party," he said.

"It is very unfortunate for anyone to think you can cow people elected as legislators, people who are seasoned administrators in their own rights. The attempt to foist leadership on members of the National Assembly is undemocratic.

"I believe if APC does not play carefully, and use persuasive diplomacy, it is going to lose, and in the end we're likely going to vote in a PDP President of the Senate."

On Babachir's "no power shift" saga, a statement widely considered as flying a kite on behalf of some hardcore northern elements, Duhu counselled them to perish the idea.

Babachir had absolved the APC of any commitment to any such obligation of respecting rotational presidency agreement, and hinted he was also a ready presidential candidate in 2023.

Duhu therefore reacted in a stern warning that any attempt to retain power in the north beyond 2023 would be resisted by all democratic forces in the country.

"I'm not a prophet of doom, but I can confidently say that given my over three decades experience, I'm afraid if the APC decides to retain power, not only the party but northerners would lose woefully," he said.

Tracing the history of rotational presidency to late President Umar Yar'Adua, he highlighted that former President Goodluck Jonathan was ousted because he reneged on an earlier zoning ceding power to the North.

"In 2010 when President Yar'Adua of blessed memory passed on, the indication that power should remain in the North was on the front burner.

"But the North was persuaded to allow the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to be, on condition that power would return to the north in 2015.

"That political diplomacy was prelude to APC's victory. It was not as if we were more popular or more strategic than the PDP; the overriding sentiment was that power must shift to the north for eight years."

He described as unfortunate, Babachir's attempt to chart a wrong course for the party, saying: "It beats my imagination that B. D. Lawal is making such postulations, because here is a man standing a trial bothering on credibility."

Duhu consequently charged the party's national hierarchy to discountenance Babachir's comments and continue to pursue principles of fairness, equity and national unity.

There's fire on the mountain!!!

By the year 2023, there would be nothing like APC. Tinubu is not destined to be president, dude knows it but just pretending.

PDP is taking over in 2023 when it fields a young Turk from the north.

2019 Elections is gone, the foolish citizens will now focus on 2023. To them whatever happens between 2019-2023 is none of their business. The killings, stealings, looting etc. All they are eyeing is zoning the presidentship to their zone or preferred candidates. 2023 will come and go and everybody will focus on 2027.

Hear this shameless liar.Do you think we have forgotten that Southern Nigeria PDP candidate was defeated hands down by GMB, the northern candidate ?. SS maintaied Zoning is not enshrined in our constitution, said Edwin Clark. Southern Nigerian spokesman. Just like Mr Clueless GEJ jettisoned Zoning in 2011, so also will Northern Nigerian jettison it, in 2023. The sky will not fall.

Igbo hating thread, wailing starts in 1,2,3......... go

Tinubu oko iya won.

Igbo already conceding defeat before 2023 shocked fear fear people, begging on fulani to come and save them from tinubu, after testing his fury at oshodi with oluomo, and retiring their Jonathan.

Well tinubu never told anyone he is vying for 2023 so why the rabbies mouth forming?

President: North.
Senate President: North.
Speaker: North.
CJN: North.
Pres. Court of Appeal: North.
CJ Federal High Court: North
IGP: North.
DG DSS: North.
DG NIA: North.

That is Nigeria for you. People are more interested in where the president is from and vote out of selfishness without thinking about security issues and poor performance . The north will win 2023 elections unless they don’t present a candidate. If PDP fields a northerner, APC will lose if they present a Yoruba person. Their eyes will open soon.

The north does not really give a toss about APC or PDP. If MZP presents a northern candidate who will represent their interests, they'll vote it. They want to hold on to power by all means.. just like the military period. After all they have the numbers, don't they?

Calm down. Tinubu is not like Atiku. Look how important and popular Tinubu is and with no national burden sitting on his shoulders....what would he want to be president for? 2023 is owned by SW though.
