Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, yesterday hinted that the greatest threat to Nigeria’s national unity is the refusal to shift power to the South in 2023.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, who disclosed this in a post via his official Facebook page, said citizens against such a situation should reject Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election.
Former vice-president Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and ex-Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu (APC) are going into an epic battle that will determine who succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in the forthcoming 2023 General Elections.
Fani-Kayode emphasised on the need for the South, i.e. the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to take over instead of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. He wrote: “The greatest threat to Nigeria’s national unity is the refusal to shift power to the South next year. Nothing could be more dangerous to our national cohesion than another 8 years of a Northerner holding presidential power after President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The Northern Governors of the APC themselves made this point and saw this danger and consequently insisted on a power shift to the South. That gesture alone is the single greatest act of self-denial and sacrifice that any ethnic or regional group has made in our entire history and we should commend them for it.
“Simply put, their decision was selfless, historic, honourable and heroic“, he emphasised. “We must also be ready to make difficult and uncomfortable sacrifices and live with the hard choices that the candidate has made, knowing that he made them in good faith, in order to win.
