‘It’s unpatriotic to return power North in 2027’ — Fani-Kayode, Omokri

‘It’s unpatriotic to return power North in 2027’ — Fani-Kayode, Omokri

 Ambassador-designate to South Africa, Fani-Kayode, and
Ambassador-designate to Mexico, Omokri, have said power can’t return to the
North in 2027.

 

In a statement on Saturday, both ambassador-designates said
the North enjoyed two full uninterrupted terms under former President Muhammadu
Buhari, with southern support, hence the South South be allowed to continue
till 2031.

 

They said the South’s stay in power is not incidental but
deliberate.

 

The statement reads partly: “We further affirm that, having
completed and made full and unfettered use of two terms of four years, under
the Muhammadu Buhari administration, Northern Nigeria, with the support of
patriots from Southern Nigeria, had its full, uninterrupted, and undisturbed
tenure in this power rotation arrangement.

 

“We view it as unpatriotic and inimical to the unity,
equilibrium, and progress of Nigeria for anyone to even conceive of power
returning to Northern Nigeria after only one term of four years, during which
it was domiciled in Southern Nigeria.

 

“Not just in Southern Nigeria, but in the specific hands of
the man who was the chief architect for the return of power to the North in
2015.”

 

Backing the second term of Tinubu, they said: “In view of
recent political events, it has become necessary and expedient for us,
Ambassadors Designate Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and Bemigho Reno Omokri, to state
categorically that we believe it is in the best interest of the stability,
unity, and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and in keeping with
the Gentleman’s Agreement, which ushered in our Fourth Republic in 1999, after
sixteen years of turbulence and political instability, for there to be a
balanced and orderly rotation of power in Nigeria, between the North and the
South.”
