North-central Deserves 2023 Presidency More Than South-east – Yahaya Bello

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has said the North-Central region is more deserving of Nigeria Presidency in 2023 than the South-East region.

Bello, who made the assertion during a chat with journalists at the State House after a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari, was reacting to Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s comment that zoning the presidency to the south-east is a key ingredient for national unity.

He noted that the North-Central has been the most marginalised since 1960, when the country attained her independence.

According to the governor: “Well, if you’re talking of south-east, then you will equally talk of north-central. Not only since 1999 but since 1960. So what do you say about north-central; both the president and vice-president?

“So put the situation of the south-east and that of north-central side by side, then who is more disadvantaged in terms of the position of presidency; both presidents and vice presidents? So if you put both sides together, then let’s do justice. And whichever way you look at it, I’m eminently qualified.”
