Pa Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the Yoruba socio-political
organization, Afenifere, has backed the call for a Nigerian President of
Southeast extraction.
Adebanjo said it is the turn of the Southeast to produce
Nigeria’s President because other regions have ruled the country.
He spoke while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics
Today, yesterday.
The Afenifere leader argued that former President Olusegun
Obasanjo who led for eight years and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo hail from the
Southwest.
He also pointed out that the South-south produced Goodluck
Jonathan, the North has served its term, while leaving only the Southeast.
The 94-year-old man stressed that in the interest of federal
character, the Southeast should be allowed to rule Nigeria.
“How can you say rotation in the North and South, and when
it comes to the South, it would be South-West and South-South every time?
“Is the South-East not part of the South? What is the moral
we are talking about?
“Is it not the South-West that had Obasanjo serve for eight
years, Osinbajo for another eight years as Vice President? South-South has
served its own.
“Is the South-East not part of the South? That is the
question we should answer,” he said.
