The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule has said a Southerner should succeed President Muhamadu Buhari for peace to reign supreme in Nigeria.
Sule declared his support for a power shift in 2023 on Thursday at the Government House in Lafia.
He spoke during a meeting with the supporters of Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura seeking his election as All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman.
He said, “I have never said anything against the agitation for rotation of the presidency to the South. I don’t think it’s a bad idea, for peace in Nigeria, if there is a rotational presidency”.
On the APC chairmanship race, Governor Sule reminded party members that the Northwest has the President, while the Northeast has the Senate President.
“It will not be ideal to have the chairman from the zones. The only zone that is ideal to occupy that position is the North-Central,” he emphasised.
