A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Osita Okechukwu, has suggested why the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, jettisoned the rotation of the Presidency.
The Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, VON said PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s “muscle”, made the party jettison its rotational policy.
Okechukwu, who stated this while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, said the South would resist the PDP presidential candidate in 2023.

According to the founding member of the APC: “It’s not as if rotation is a new thing. So, for the PDP, because of Atiku’s muscle, they jettisoned the rotation of the Presidency which was an injury to himself. Some of us in the south will forbid him because he touched on the ligament that is holding the country.
“That is why we thank the northern governors because they recognised the import of that ligament. You may not take it seriously, but if you know the sense of belonging it brings to the north and south you can’t just dismiss it.

“This rotation may not have its legal teeth, but rotation is a convention. It has its moral angle. Atiku will not know what he did to himself until the day the votes come. Atiku has lost in the southern stronghold.”
