Akeredolu sends a warning message to APC, PDP
Meanwhile, Akeredolu has said any political party that fields a northern candidate for presidency in 2023 risked losing the support of southerners.
Akeredolu made this known on Friday, September 17, in an interview on Channels Television while speaking on the resolutions of the Southern Governors’ Forum on the 2023 elections and the fact that the presidency must be zoned to the south.
Legit.ng gathered that Akeredolu, the chairman of the forum, said this was for the sake of justice and fairness.
He argued that when President Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, completes his second term in 2023, the next president should come from the south.
The governor said:
“There are about three political parties that are in the Southern Governors’ Forum, we have the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. All of us are unanimous in our position that the next president of this country must come from the south."
