Presidency Must Shift To South In 2023 – Gaya

Senator Kabiru Gaya (APC-Kano) says the Southern part of Nigeria should produce the next president in 2023 for fairness.

Gaya said this while speaking at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) forum in Abuja. 

 He said that the north had produced president for two terms in the person of President Muhammadu Buhari, who has been doing well in developing the country.

 According to the senator, President Buhari is doing his best for the country. 

 “On the issue of presidency in 2023, I will support a president from the southern part of the country. It is time we have a president from the southern part of the country while the vice president comes from the north.

 “I think it should be fair to rotate the presidency in such a way that people will have confidence in the system; both the north and the south will accommodate each other. Nigeria needs to be one country. One united country,’’ he said.  

Meanwhile, on the agitations for restructuring, Gaya said that Nigeria should remain one indivisible country while improving on its revenue generation. 

 “God knows the best way he put us together and I believe there is a reason for it. 

 “But when you say you want to restructure the country using revenue generation, that each state lives on its own or parts of the nation in terms of tribe strive on its own, I think that is the thinking of some Nigerians. 

“I believe that Nigeria should remain one indivisible entity,’’ he said.
