Congratulations to the PDP for electing a North Easterner. Nigerians must have seen what I saw yesterday. For our party the APC, it is no longer feasible to talk about Southern candidates except the APC want to go on political retirement.
I urge the national chairman of the party and the entire NWC to stamp their feet and zone APC presidential ticket to the North East.
President Muhammadu Buhari has a right to choose his successor and I call on him to pick Senator Ahmad Lawan as his successor. In every democratic setting, presidents and governors support and pick their successors.
I call on President Buhari to pick a successor from the North East and that will be the equity the South East needs. With the North East , the cycle will be closest to completion of regions producing the president of Nigeria.
By now , all APC aspirants should drop their ambition and support a North Easterner . Senator Ahmad Lawan is the destination.
Congratulations to the North East as we look forward to a president of Nigeria from the North East .

Chief Whip of the 9th Senate
