Ex–Presidential spokesman, Laolu Akande, has come out to say that the rotational presidency has come to stay in Nigeria.

He recently revealed that it will be difficult to terminate the Southern presidency in 2027, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, political merger talks and plots to return power to the North in 2027 are nothing but child’s play, and anyone saying that is what will happen is only making noise.

He added that the South is going to get its eight years, and then the North will get the next eight years.

His words, “I think it is just child’s play (terminating the southern presidency in 2027. Nigeria has gone past that.

The South is going to get its eight years. The North will get the next eight years.

Politicians are just going to make noise. It is not going to be possible, really (to terminate the southern term).

Rotational presidency has come to stay in Nigeria. There is a national consensus around the idea of a rotational presidency between the South and the North.

Anybody trying to reverse that is just joking, It’s not going to work.

All of these political mergers are not going to solve the problems of Nigeria.

In 2014, there was a merger that led to APC. There were a lot of expectations in this country. APC carried the national wave. Nine years later, where are we?

We are nowhere different from where we were then because the core issues have been left unaddressed.

So all of these mergers, even if they (proponents) succeed, what is going to happen is that they will just change the characters of people in the Government House.

We need to understand that there are fundamental problems that have to be sorted out, and we cannot leave it to politicians.

That’s why you hear the noise of mergers all over the place. It is just going to be a repeat of what happened with APC. We must rather unite as Nigerians to deal with core issues.

We need to agree that regardless of political parties, regardless of our ethnic differences, regardless of our political differences, all of us agree that this is the minimum that anybody who is running Nigeria or running the state government has to get.

People that are outside of the political process must rise and begin to call for this kind of concerted efforts where we develop a national consensus across party lines, across regional lines, across ethnic lines, across religious lines.

I’m not excited about this merger, it is not going to make a dent in the problem.”

WOW.
