“Respect Rotational Agreement And Back Tinubu” – Amosun To North

Ibikunle Amosun

Former Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has urged other zones in the country to respect Nigeria’s rotational arrangement. He recently had his say at the Ake Palace Pavilion, Abeokuta, while addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders, party members and well-wishers during activities marking his 68th birthday.

According to him, it is only fair for the South to complete an eight-year presidential tenure under President Tinubu, in line with the nation’s zoning arrangement.

He concluded by stressing that equity, fairness and national stability demand strict adherence to zoning between the North and the South.

His words, “The last president from the North was President Muhammadu Buhari. He did how many years? Eight years.

Now, it is the turn of us in the South. And we have President Tinubu in the saddle, representing all of us in Nigeria primarily, though he is from the South-West zone.

And he is representing all of us in the South. So, indeed, it is a no-brainer for anybody that loves Nigeria to agree that whatever we are doing, we should respect that rotational arrangement and that rotational agreement.

In any case, in this Ogun State, how can they talk about APC without talking about Amosun and all of us? This is with all due respect to leaders and our elders.

I think probably the only person that you will say, oh, in this Ogun State, when we were forming APC, I will say, oh, is in the forefront, is Chief Olusegun Osoba. When you take Chief Osoba, who will you take next? It’s me. It’s us. And that is why you do not destroy what you build. So for us, this is who we are, and this is where we are.”

WOW.
