“I have said it several times that multi-party democracy allows the Igbo to design their winning game plan and use it to canvass the presidency across the nation instead of using threats and intimidation.”

Sani noted that democracy is not a bullfight in a sumo ring, but a contest of ideas and reasons.

“If their chances of producing the president are brighter this time around using democratic tenets, then I wish them good luck. But as they do so, they should not imagine that 2023 is the final hour.”

The former ACF scribe dismissed speculations that the North is never favorably disposed to giving up power.

He added that in 1999, the North agreed that the South-West should present presidential candidates.

“In 2003, President Obasanjo got 25 per cent in most Northern states when General Buhari stood for the elections. In 2011, President Jonathan got 25 per cent in most Northern states when General Buhari contested the elections.

“So, when some southerners allege that the North regards power to rule the country as its own patrimony, I begin to wonder the basis of such allegations”, Sani said.
