Nigeria’s Next President Should Emerge From The South – Southern Governors
Southern governors have jointly agreed that Nigeria’s next president should come from the southern region.
The governors also set September 21, 2021, as the deadline for the promulgation of anti-open grazing law among its member states.
Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu, said this on Monday while reading from a communique jointly signed by the governors after a closed-door meeting in Alausa, Lagos State.
“The Forum reiterates its commitment to the politics of equity, fairness and unanimously agrees that the presidency of Nigeria be rotated between Southern and Northern Nigeria and resolved that the next president of Nigeria should emerge from the Southern Region,” Governor Akeredolu said on behalf of the governors.
The governors affirmed their commitment to the unity of Nigeria on the pillars of equity, fairness, justice, progress, and peaceful co-existence between and amongst its people.
The meeting held eight weeks after the governors met in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The governors also reinstated calls for state police and appreciated security operatives for their efforts in restoring security and safety and commiserated with families and loved ones of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
