Northern Governors

Northern Governors have declared their position on 2023 Presidency.

 

EKOHOTBLOG reports that governors of the 19 Northern states have described the position of the Southern Governors that the country’s next president must come from their region as unconstitutional.

 

This was made known by the Plateau State Governor and Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, Simon Bako Lalong, while reading from the resolutions of their emergency meeting with northern traditional rulers at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House in Kaduna on Monday.

 

It would be recalled that the Southern Governors had in a meeting in Lagos in July demanded that power must shift to their region.

 

However, the Northern Governors Forum, on Monday, said though some Northern States Governors had earlier expressed views for a power-shift to three Geo-Political Zone in the South, with a view to promoting unity and peace in the nation, the statement by the Southern Governors Forum that the Presidency must go to the South is unacceptable.

“The statement is quite contradictory with the provision of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended that the elected President shall secure at least 25 percent of the votes cast in 2/3 states of the federation. In the case of run-up simple majority win the election,” Lalong said.
