Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose on wednesday advised the Northern people of Nigeria to wait till 2019 before they produce a president, adding that waiting for four years is not too much for the north region to return to presidency.
He said by 2019, after President Jonathan must have completed his tenure, it will naturally be the turn of the North to produce the president, without any other region contesting it.
In his words the originator of the "Stomach infrastructure scheme" said
"By 2019, the presidency will go to the North, and it will be the choice of the leaders and stakeholders in the region to choose whoever they want among the arrays of patriotic Nigerians that abound in the region.
"As it is today, Buhari that is going about presenting himself as representing the North is just a mere stooge of Tinubu, and I am sure Northern leaders will not want Tinubu to use their slot by proxy.
"That Buhari is not the candidate of the leaders of the Northern Nigeria was made manifest during the APC presidential primaries, when Northern delegates gave their votes to Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, with Buhari getting his own delegate votes from South-West, South-South, South-East and part of North-Central."
"The North-West delegates voted for Kwankwaso while those from the North-East voted for Atiku, meaning that Buhari was imposed on the North as their candidate by delegates controlled by Tinubu and it was in appreciation of this that Buhari gave Tinubu the sole responsibility of picking his (Buhari) running mate, a ticket Tinubu tried to give to himself but failed and ultimately conceded to Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Tinubu's surrogate".
"The South-West had its own eight years, the South-South should be allowed to spend its own, while the North that was short-changed by those who knowingly masterminded the Yar'Adua saga will get its own chance in 2019"
He therefore calls on northerners to vote massively for President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP in the presidential and other elections next month.
