The governor was reiterating his position on the importance of returning power to the south since President Muhammadu Buhari, who will be completing his tenure in 2023, is from the north.

When asked if he had supported a Muslim-Muslim ticket if he was in another party, he stressed that religion should not be an issue in the 2023 election, but power must return to the south.

According to him, there is an understanding since 1999 that the presidency will be rotated between the north and south.

He argued that some people today want to use religion to manipulate the people to kill the call for the southern presidency, then we should not accept.

“For me, it is not because of asiwaju Bola Tinubu. If you listened to my lecture, I said if Obi is elected as president, for me, that will be all right. If Bola Tinubu is elected, that will be all right. For me, it must come to the south; that is the position.”
