Former Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Sir Roland Owie, yesterday, referred to as on former governor of Lagos State and nationwide chief of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to overlook his 2023 presidential ambition positing that within the occasion that the foremost political events comply with zone the presidency to the southern a part of Nigeria, it might be flip of the south-east to provide the subsequent president of Nigeria.

Owie whereas talking on the emergence of a bunch, Justice and Peace Discussion board in Nigeria (JPFN) which he mentioned could be launched early subsequent yr mentioned however in his opinion and for equity and fairness, the north nonetheless has about 4 years after 2023 to meet up with the south and the rotation of the presidency since 1999.

He mentioned however for zoning that was agreed in 1999 that the presidency ought to go to the south-west, President Olusegun Obasanjo wouldn’t have turn into president of Nigeria haven misplaced the entire of the south-west to the then opposition Alliance for Democracy (AD).

He mentioned: “Bola Tinubu is my pal, however the reality is that the place there isn’t a justice, there is not going to be peace. Zoning began in 1999 and to God be the glory, it began from the South-West and Obasanjo took it and the PDP gained. However for zoning, Obasanjo wouldn’t have been president as a result of he misplaced his unit, he misplaced his ward, he misplaced his native authorities, he misplaced his state and he misplaced the entire of the South-West zone to Chief Olu Falae.

“He completed his eight years, the factor moved to the north, Yar’Adua picked it, what he did in about two and a half years, quite a lot of presidents didn’t do, the present president has not completed 10 per cent of what Yar’Adua did. His tenure was truncated as a result of when God calls no one can say no. President Jonathan completed his tenure after which took one other 4 years however as I’m speaking to you, the southern a part of Nigeria has taken 14 years plus so when Buhari finishes his regime by 2023 though it’s a thorny regime, the north nonetheless has 4 years.

“If Tinubu is aware of that Nigeria has peace with this zoning, if he is aware of that do unto others as you will have them do unto you, he shouldn’t consider the presidency as a result of if all of us agree by 2023 that the presidency ought to come to the south, it isn’t to south west, it isn’t to south-south, it’s to south-east. If all the foremost political events agree that it ought to come to the south, the south-west is out of it, they’ve accomplished their eight years.

“There’s a Benin parable that claims the mouth doesn’t cease the proprietor from  speaking with it, perhaps a part of the cash he has, he needs to waste it let the individuals accumulate it but when the events and Nigerians agree that presidency ought to come to the south, it isn’t the flip of the south-west in any respect, it’s the south-east however for now I’m saying that as a catholic, it isn’t truthful to lie, it’s truthful to be simply, the north has 4 years plus to finish their tenure after Buhari.”
