\n
Senior Pastor of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said it is not wrong or unconstitutional for a northerner to<\/div>\n
\n
succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.<\/p>\n

Buhari is from the North and many southerners expect that the presidency will come to their region after eight years of Buhari\u2019s reign. Some have attributed it to an unwritten rule, which Buhari also benefited from.<\/p>\n

But in an interview on Channels TV, Bakare stressed that emphasis should be put on competence in the choice of leaders.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cLet the best of the best emerge\u2026 it doesn\u2019t matter which part
\nof the country the person comes from.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have heard all kinds of arguments on rotation and zoning. Some are saying (Olusegun) Obasanjo, plus (Goodluck) Jonathan, that\u2019s 14 years and (Umaru) Yar\u2019Adua plus Buhari is 10 years and that the North still has four more years. At this moment, what is needed is a person who can do it.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical parties should bring their best forward. Let the best of the best emerge. It can go to the South, it can go to the North. It is only one seat. If it\u2019s an Igbo man, so be it, if it\u2019s a Yoruba man, so be it. If it is a Northerner, a Hausa or Fulani, so be it. And I am saying that passionately.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we had promised rotation, so let\u2019s practice rotation, if it\u2019s not part of our Constitution, let\u2019s face the reality. It is not really where the person comes from that matters, it is what he is able to do and deliver.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
