FCT, Abuja – Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, said the call for power to return to the North by 2027 is a dangerous argument.
Omokri said desperate people are the ones saying that the North has only been in power for eleven years since 1999.
The social critic argued that Nigeria’s independence did not start in 1999 when the nation returned to democratic dispensation.
He stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @renoomokri on Monday, December 16.
Omokri explained that in Nigeria’s 64 years as an independent nation, the North has been in power for a total of forty-six years, versus only eighteen for the South.
He warned the North not to take actions that could have serious ramifications for its political stability.
Omokri added that Northerners should not empower âSouthern Judases, who have found a breath of fresh air in Kemi Badenoch’s ‘I have nothing in common with Northern Nigeria’ comment. â
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that despite the criticism from northern groups and leaders, Governor Bala Mohammed emphasized that all governors are in support of President Tinubuâs leadership.
However, he pointed out that certain members of the president’s cabinet are hindering his efforts, advising him to remove them.
Mohammed spoke when he landed in Rivers state amid permutations for the 2027 election and early moves by the APC against Sim Fubara’s government and second-term.
