Should Power Return To The North In 2027?

Saying that the North has only been in power for eleven years since 1999 and that power should return to the North by 2027 is a dangerous argument being made by desperate people.

Nigeria's independence did not start in 1999. Prior to 1999, Nigeria experienced twenty good years of Northern leadership, with only 83 days in between those twenty years given to the South when Chief Ernest Shonekan headed the ill fated Interim National Government.

In the nineteen years before that, the North enjoyed another fifteen years in power, with only four years to the South comprised of six months for Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi and three and a half years for General Olusegun Obasanjo.

In the sixty four years of Nigeria's existence as an independent nation, the North has been in power for a total of forty six years, versus only eighteen for the South.

If you further break it down to elected civilian governments and military dictatorships, the North has had twenty one years of democratically elected leaders, including six years for Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa, four years for President Shehu Shagari, three for President Umaru Musa Yar'adua, and eight for General Buhari.

This is compared to fourteen for the South, with eight years for President Obasanjo, five for President Goodluck Jonathan, and less than two for the incumbent.

The North has also had twenty-five years of military dictatorship, comprising nine years for General Gowon, six months for General Murtala Muhammed, two years for General Buhari, eight years for General Babangida, five years for the butcher, Abacha, and nine months for the blessed General Abdulsalami Abubakar. This is versus only three and a half for the South, and three out of those three and a half years were not even deliberate. If Murtala had not been murdered by his fellow Northerner, all that the South would have had would have been only six months!

Yet, Southern Quislings have the temerity to spew such gobbledygook about the North being shortchanged?

In mathematical ratio, for every year the South has been in power, the North has been at the helm for 2.56 years. And now, Oliver asks for more?

Look, I am a Sokoto boy. True Arewa people know me and my deep, unfeigned love for the North and Islam. Without being a Muslim, I practice more Islamic principles than many people who profess Islam as a religion. And it did not begin with me. My late father was an expert in Sharia Law.

I am the second generation of the perfect Nigerian experiment. My father went to Sokoto as a twenty three year old National Youth Service Corp member and became so entrenched in the North and Islam that he represented the Northwest in the Court of Appeal.

Nobody has a greater stake in Nigeria than my family and I.

If we are talking about equity, the South still has much catching up to do.

For the stability of our nation, it is essential that power rotates between the North and South.

Yes, I supported a Northerner in the previous elections because he won my party's presidential primary. My hands were tied. But even with tied hands, we made him state publicly that he would do only one term and hand over to his Southern deputy.

As thoroughly useless as General Buhari was, the South did not disturb his eight-year reign. No serious Southerner rose up to challenge him in 2019. 2019 was exactly like 1999, when the rest of the country left the race to the Southwest, specifically General Obasanjo and Chief Olu Falae.

Northern Nigeria must not allow itself to be goaded into actions that could have serious ramifications for its political stability. The Southwest is the most pro-Nigerian region of the South. If they feel cheated out of their just desserts in 2027, those behind the action will unwittingly unite the South in calling for a renegotiation of Nigeria's unity, which will not augur well for unity campaigners like myself.

Nigeria is better together. And Southerners like myself and others know that. But our Northern counterparts should not empower Southern Judases, who have found a breath of fresh air in Kemi Badenoch's 'I have nothing in common with Northern Nigeria' comment.

If Arewa makes that mistake, and Kemi Badenoch should become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, they would have inadvertently created a perfect storm that could lead to the disintegration of Nigeria.

And why even remove President Tinubu? Our economy is growing at 3.46%. Our trade surplus is at a record high of ₦5.81 trillion for the third quarter of 2024. The Federation Account Allocation Committee received an all-time high revenue of ₦3.134 trillion for November. In the area of insecurity, which is likely to be the biggest challenge facing the North, according to the Global Peace Index, Nigeria is less insecure than it was under Buhari.

So, except there is something those paid to float that vacuous argument are not saying, there is no reason for Northern Nigeria to want to change a horse midstream and seek a return of power to the North after just four years of power residing in the South.

he didn't attach igbo or Peter Obi now he is rubbish though he is what you call him no doubt about that.

He has successfully created deep enemity in the south and is asking if power should return to the north

I don't think there is North and South

Where is the fairness that one zone in the South wants to rule for 16 years, the other 4 and the other zero and you complain of North?

There is nothing we can accuse the North of that South West is not guilty of

We have all agreed no more zoning let everyone fight for their interest... If a northern president would favor me over a South West president I should not go for it because of what?

Buhari ruled for 8 years after Yar’Adua’s 3 years. If you want power, then fight for it. Power will not be served to you like Ikwuobi, you will have to fight for it. JAGABAN is still in the ring, get your gloves and jump into the ring, he is ready to fight any human or spirit, he is the god of Politics

Exactly my point... North wants power and are ready to fight for it simple. Stop trying to blackmail them to back out of their intentions

If North can convince enough people they would be better than what the Yoruba president is offering why won't but South and North vote for a northern candidate

Beware Nigerians of this scam

Zulu11zulu:

He attached Igbo...read well, that man is very mischievous

Nigeria is 64 years.

The North has ruled the country for more than 40 years (out of the 64).

.. yet there's nothing to show for it.

To Reno, only the SW are reliable Nigerians. The rest are Judases. Well if you are called a Judas, why not TRULY be no. If they call you a frog eater, better eat the very FAT ones.
In 2027, we the Judases have a decision to make. Keep the lopsided power South or return the lopsided power North. Any side that gives us better positioning will get our votes.

I don't care about where or who becomes the next president, if it is just possible to get T-pain out that's fine with me. Tpain is totally clueless, he is a clueless FAILURE a monumental disaster, a massive weapon of economic destruction, the man is a big stress on businesses in Nigeria.

E go hard to comot the failure of all failures Tpain bcus next election him go unleash the rigging of all riggings.
Chia Nigeria go hear word by force, 8yrs of total cluelessness from the hands of the greatest of all time failure called T-pain 😁😁.

Why the south no knack coup follow rule during the military era?

The one dey even try .. Yoruba people blackmailed it

Why’s Reno crying
More Nigeria than who

My great grandfather lived in the north.. my grandfather became the first Christian Anglican priest in the north..
Wetin this man know?

Ojukwu and Zik was born and bred in Arewa

Who cares what his grandfather is and who they represent

This man give dashing Yoruba people lamba anyhow

.. Tueh for Reno the bingo

Power is coming North

No time for blackmail
North made Tinubu president with their votes and if all works out with obi.. they will chase I’m out

Which one is sophisticated west that has been in opposition sinvmce 1960 till 2015

I not for Buhari and the Yoruba betrayal of good luck Jonathan will Yoruba ronu ever smell this aso villa?

Yoruba wan change narrative.. e no dey hard then do

O mockery the fool.

An unstable delusional as' licker from Atiku to Tinubu

Hunger & hopelessness is really bad.

I will keep saying this.,

The south south has always been pro north.. and will never ever align with Yoruba.. it’s had never happened in politcal history of Nigeria

The north is ready to push out this Yoruba government.., walahi Allah.. I swear

The challenge is the Igbos.. and their alignment..
If they can wake to the deciet of Yoruba and their “ southern “ stories ..

That’s all ..
Tinubu won’t spend 2 hours on Election Day.. he will run out of villa..


East need to align with Arewa .. to get to villa..

And this I believe their political actors must do

The fear of political alignments between east and North is the beginning of wisdom to APC , the Yoruba government, Yoruba tribe ,

This is fact and reality

We saw it in 60’ 79’ 83’ 99’ 03’ 07’ 11”

And in all those years.. Nigeria was greater than what the Yoruba people and government are giving and has given

Yoruba remained in opposition all this years .. wailing on newspapers and print media
Nigerians must wake!!

Reno Omokri thinks he hold the best opinion to every political discuss but it has been a lots of senseless tirades up and down to defend idiocy.

Not a fan of Reno, but kudos to his analytic flow.

Reno is asslicking northerners by claiming to be more Islamic than shehu

What gospel is he a gospeller for again? I guess gospel of the stomach. Dude is neither hot nor cold

He's saying he believes was the turn of the south in 2023 but his hands were tied like the proverbial Christmas chicken taken for slaughter

If we're to go with his argument, one will wonder why Buhari was supported to run against Jonathan in 2015 by the same people he's counting scores for now which ultimately kicked him out of Aso Rock

What hunger cannot do does not exist!!

but kemi bad-anus is d best thing now right?

LandMann:


Exactly my thoughts.

South east need to wise up and not allow charlatans deceive them into going into the fight alone.

Southwest learnt the tactics of divide and conquer very well from Britain, and they use it in both politics and leadership positions they occupy across Nigeria, which is quite terrible.

South east need to align with the north in 2027 election...this is the only way to unseat Tinubu.

I hope Peter Obi is not goaded or deceived into contesting alone... He should learn from how NPC, ACN, NEW-PDP and few other parties all merged to unseat PDP in 2027.

If Peter Obi insists on going into the election alone in 2027 then Nigerians must know that he's a tool being used by Tinubu to divide opposition party votes...he must be rejected resoundingly, even in his backyard. Otherwise the alternative would be to continue with Tinubu, or the north will manage to clinch it alone by resoundingly rejecting Tinubu...

Tinubu is a heartless and wicked leader who has no interest of the common man at heart.

Ordinary egg moved from N50 to N250 in less than one year of Tinubu presidency, yet Tinubu believes paying minimum wage of N70,000 is a great achievement....

You'll work one full month of your life under Tinubu and you won't be able to pay your transportation, house rent or even feed yourself.

You'll have to borrow or steal to make ends meet.

What kind of hopelessness is Tinubu's government distributing across Nigeria?

just Dey play

U think d power hungry north don't have sense abi?

They know better than u, if they give obi d presidency it means he will use another 8 years meaning north will b out of power for good 12 years

If u believe north can b out of power for good 12 years then u are on a long thing

They will support tinubu to use his remaining 4 years n they have their 8 years back

With obi affiliation with ipob n how he never condemned then u think they ain't seeing it abi?

If north will support any Igbo it won't b a conservative one like obi but d liberal once like Kalu n co

Reno is working hard for his daily crumbs from Tinubu

To Reno, only the Southwest are dependable Nigerians. The others are seen as traitors. If you are labeled a traitor, you might as well embrace it. If they call you something unflattering, you might as well take it to heart. In 2027, we who are labeled as traitors have a choice to make maintain the unequal power in the South or restore it in the North. Whichever side offers us a better opportunity will receive our votes.

Is Reno fighting for Lukumi or the entire South?

The last time I checked Reno has successfully created a deep and irreparable enmity between the Southwest and the rest of the South.
