Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, has mocked the
Ango Abdullahi-led Northern Elders Forum, NEF, and the Arewa Youth Consultative
Forum, AYCF, following Gov. Nasir El-Rufai’s declaration that the South should
succeed President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023.
El-Rufai was quoted as saying at the weekend that the North
has no justification to remain in power beyond 2023.
Ohaneze lauded El Rufai for being sincere to the fact that
the unwritten principle of rotation of power between North and South should be
respected and honoured in 2023.
According to the Igbo youth organisation, Governor El Rufai
has buried all instigations and fear that North will succeed Buhari by 2023.
Ohanaeze said this move has made the clamour by NEF and AYCF
for the North to retain power in 2023 inconsequential and irrelevant.
The organisation called on Abdullahi-led Northern Elders
Forum and the Arewa youth groups to emulate their political leaders, especially
Governor El Rufai, who had previously jettisoned zoning.
“Definitely it’s time to bring in a Nigerian President of
Igbo stock 2023, a new Zik of Africa will emerge,” OYC added in a statement
signed by its President-General Okechukwu Isiguzoro and secretary-general, Okwu
Nnabuike on Monday.
