Nigeria Northern Lawmakers Insist Region Must Retain Presidency In 2023

Northern state legislators have said the North deserves to retain the presidency in 2023 because the South had ruled for 14 years while the north would have ruled for 10 years at the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.

The lawmakers, who assembled in Abuja on the platform of an advocacy for the 2023 presidential ambition of Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, however, asked the governor to intensify his consultation for the top position.

The meeting was attended by four delegates each from 18 states in the northern part of the country.

The convener of the meeting, Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Matthew Kolawole, called on the participants to support the 2023 presidential aspiration of Bello.
