Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna central, says those geo-politcal zones that have been promised power in
2023 should demand a written agreement to that effect.
The senator said this via a tweet
on Tuesday.
Sani said the agreement should be
signed by the presidential candidates and chieftains of the political parties
offering the promise and witnessed by respected traditional and religious
leaders.
The lawmaker said gentleman
agreement is a “hoax and a mirage.”
“If they promise your
geopolitical zone political power in 2023, demand for a written irreversible
and irrevocable agreement,signed by their presidential candidates and party
chieftains and witnessed by respected traditional and religious leaders,” he
said.
“Gentleman agreement is a hoax
& a mirage.”
Babatunde Fashola, minister of
power, works and housing, had said the south-west has more to gain by
re-electing President Muhammadu Buhari.
The minister said the re-election
of Buhari would guarantee that power would come to the south-west in 2023.
But he is not the only one that
has made such statement.
In November, Boss Mustapha,
secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), asked the south-east to
endorse Buhari re-election bid in order to secure the presidency in 2023.
“I urge the south-east to look at
this matter seriously that every time we have a presidency in Nigeria, it is
negotiated in several ways,” Mustapha said.
“Either negotiated by votes or
what you bring to the table and you must negotiate from the position of
strength.”
