The leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere,
Chief Ayo Adebanjo has said the North cannot dictate who becomes Nigeria’s
president.
Adebanjo disclosed this in Lagos on Monday.
He also faulted calls that the Southeast must negotiate to
produce Nigeria’s president.
The Afenifere leader said it’s the right of the Southeast to
produce Nigeria’s president without having to beg any region.
Adebanjo further rubbished insinuations that the North has
the population to decide Nigeria’s president.
According to Adebanjo: “What right has the North to dictate
who will become our president?
“It was said that the South-East must come to negotiate with
the North because politics is a game of numbers.
“My case is – and I told people yesterday – the case for the
East is not to beg for a favour; it is their right.
“Yet, each time I hear that they should go around because
the North has the population, what fraudulent population? You can’t sell that
to me.”
