Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State has declared that power will return to the North after President Bola Tinubu’s second tenure.
Bago urged Northerners willing to be Nigeria’s president to wait until 2031.
Speaking on TVC, the governor said: “When he (President) finishes his eight years, power will come to the North and northerners, who want to contest, can then contest.”
The governor emphasized that there are no dissident voices and gave Tinubu his full support and allegiance in Niger State.
He demanded that the eight-year rotation program be upheld by both the North and the South.
There isn’t a voice of criticism in Niger State. Because of our decision to adopt a form of administration rotation—the North will take eight years, the South will take eight years—Nigeria is coexisting harmoniously.
You’re suggesting that it should return to the North, even though Tinubu has only been in office for two years. How? We had chances.
Thus, he continued, “we will continue to support the President.”
