Alhaji Yerima Shetimma, President- General of the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF), on Monday said the North will vehemently resist any political party that decides to zone its presidential ticket to any region of the country.


Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Yerima said he aligned with the position of President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura who said competence should be considered for the next President in 2023 rather than zoning.


Yerima who had earlier insisted that a northerner will succeed President Buhari in 2023 said he has changed his position and will prefer the next president to come from any part of the country.

"I concur with Mamman Daura’s view that competency is critical at this particular time without minding the region where that person comes from. In the past, my position has always been that the North will retain the power but when I look at events in the country, between three years ago and last year, a lot of things have really changed”.


“We are more divided than we used to be and so on that basis, I resort to my recent conclusion that let us settle for competency rather than zoning”.
“ If we have the best eleven from North-East; South-South; North-Central; South-East; North-West and South-West, let us bring them to the fore and let Nigerians decide”.

"But in the North, we will ensure that we vehemently refuse any arrangement by any political party that will say it has zoned the presidency to any geo-political zone. We will vehemently resist that”.


“Let there be a level playing field for all. Let everyone bring their best to the table and allow Nigerians to decide who they want. This is democracy” he said.

Which North? Be specific! Am a from the north and I don't see any unity here, not even within the north west which is suppose to be the core north. Buhari has further divided the north.
