Fayose Dumps Atiku, Says It’s South’s Turn To Produce President

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose on Wednesday denounced the presidential flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party for the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar.

Fayose insisted that it is the turn of the South to produce the next president after the expiration of eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari in office, in the spirit of equity, fairness and justice.

The former governor disclosed this in a statement via his verified Twitter handle (Gov@Ayo Fayose), argued that section 3(c) of the PDP constitution provides for a rotational presidency.

Fayose who didn’t mention the party and candidate he would be supporting in the 2023 general election among the array of presidential candidates from the South, urged Nigerians to await the detail soonest.

He tweeted:” The PDP Constitution provides for a rotational Presidency. Section 3(c) provides that the Party shall pursue its aims & objectives by “adhering to the policy of the rotation & zoning of Party & Public elective offices in pursuance of the principle of equity, justice and fairness.”

“The current President of Nigeria is a 2-term Northern Presidency, thus implying that it MUST be a Southern Presidency in 2023 or NOTHING. Awa ‘South’ lo kan’. Nigerians should await details soon”.
