Reno Omokri, a sociopolitical analyst, has claimed that the North and South will continue to control political power in Nigeria.
Omokri said both regions will continue to yield political
power over Nigeria due to their unity and humility.
Posting on X, the former presidential aide said other
regions will assume control of political power in Nigeria when they learn
humility and unity from the North and Western parts of the country.
According to Omokri: “Sadly, as long as Nigeria remains one
united country, Northern Nigeria and the Southwest of Nigeria will continue
controlling power in this political sphere, like a tennis ball, because of
their unity and humility. One will do eight years, God willing, and pass the
ball with their racket of unity to the other, who will do their own eight years
and pass the ball back.
“Only the death of an incumbent President can temporarily
break that circadian rhythm. And if that even occurs, the pendulum swing will
be readjusted back to its original factory settings during elections, and
equilibrium will be retained.
“Except other regions learn unity and humility from these
two blocs, this political tennis game of back and forth will endure.
“Unity without humility will result in feelings of
superiority, which will destroy your political ability. Humility without unity
will lead to internal geopolitical wrangling, which causes political
instability.
“To get power and retain it in a multi-ethnic polity like
ours, you must counterbalance unity with humility. And the North, especially
the core North, and the Southwest get it. Oya, insult!”

This is so insulting and insupportable for a nation with multicultural history, multi religious dimensions and multi geographical habitations. What do you do to other ethnic groups who’re embedded in such an entity. Your statement is ridiculous, irresponsible and chronically xenophobia against what united nation stands for. This divisible statement from a political activist is inflammatory and justifies hatred and disdain. Allow those who wants to pull out from Nigeria to do so and form their own nation instead of incriminating their legal moves to obtain their independence. Even the South West want to go away from Nigeria because of the systemic issues in the way a federal system has been turned into.
