  • The popular Christian cleric said northerners work together as a team to achieve their (political) goals while the southerners just make noise
  • Meanwhile, another pastor, Alamu David, said all is settled spiritually for Bola Tinubu, a southerner from Lagos, to succeed President Buhari in 2023

FCT, Abuja - Apostle Johnson Suleman, the general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, says he doubts the emergence of a southerner as the next president of Nigeria in 2023.

Suleman was quoted as saying:

“You saw what played out yesterday in Abuja? Why do you think the North has been in office and power for many years? Even if the North is not in the office, the North will be in power.
“If they are not in power, they will be in office. This is because the Southern region, especially South-South, are noisemakers. The North will allow you to finish making your noise then they will shock you. Atiku knew the Southerners were noisemakers, and he worked on it.
“They are 100 per cent loyal to themselves; that is why Tambuwal could take such a decision. All my Northern friends have not spoken ill of me, but the Southerners are the ones mocking me.”
