Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi state, has stated that the north central deserves to be considered for the presidency more than the south-east.
Both zones, according to the governor, are “disadvantaged in terms of the position of the presidency”.
This was stated by Bello at the presidential villa in Abuja on Tuesday in response to Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s remark that zoning the presidency to the south-east is a key ingredient for national unity.
He said: “Well, if you’re talking of south-east, then you will equally talk of north-central. Not only since 1999 but since 1960. So what do you say about north-central; both the president and vice-president?
“So put the situation of the south-east and that of north-central side by side, then who is more disadvantaged in terms of the position of presidency; both presidents and vice presidents? So if you put both sides together, then let’s do justice. And whichever way you look at it, I’m eminently qualified.”
Bello also stated that the north-central region has never produced the country’s president or vice-president, so it is only natural that the region produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
Contrary to Bello’s assertion, the north-central has produced military leaders.
