Fashola’s comment
“It’s not time to consider who will be there in 2023. In any case, if we are thinking about going to Abuja in 2023 we should first and foremost do the one thing we are sure about, support this man. We will know that the position will be vacant in 2023, that is the surest way we can know how we will go in 2023. Ezeife, Ozekhome chide Fashola Third Republic governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife on his part bemoaned Fashola’s comment, noting that the minister would have been correct if the rotation of the presidency were between the Fulani and the Yoruba. “Fashola is my friend, he is working for Buhari. But I think he is senior enough to be one of those who regret the myopia of Yoruba and Igbo which has brought Nigeria down to what we are seeing now and for him to start this battle again I think some people have to call him to order. “Let me say one thing, if we elect Buhari for a second term what is the guarantee that Nigeria will outlast two years of him being in office. “So I totally appeal to people not to pretend not to understand the game being played and not to yield to it. I don’t really think there is anything to worry about, all we need to do now is to pray to God to control the minds of the INEC people and force them to do justice.” On the insinuation that the All Progressives Congress, APC, had penciled down the South East to produce President after President Buhari’s second tenure in respect to the spirit of rotational Presidency, he said, “If the rotation is between Fulani and Yoruba, then he is right but that is not the rotation. “The rotation is North and South and within the North there are people and within the South there are people.” On his part, human rights activist and constitutional lawyer, Barrister Mike Ozekhome chided the former Lagos state governor, saying he lacks the capacity to speak for the South West. “Fashola cannot speak for the Yoruba race where you have Afenifere.
The Igbo people are in the true spirit of equity, egalitarianism and good conscience entitled, to the next Presidency of Nigeria,” he said. Yoruba Youth Council Chide Fashola: Our Agenda is Restructuring, not presidency The Yoruba Youth Council, YYC has upbraided Fashola over his assertion as they charged him to justify the call for another term for Buhari against his performance in office just as the group said it was more concerned with restructuring than the feeble advantages of having another Yoruba president. The group in a statement signed by its National President, Eric Oluwole Teniola in Akure, said “President Buhari had no solution to any of the problems confronting Nigeria as a nation. “We observe with consternation that Mr. Fashola, who is a beneficiary of the social economic crisis which the ruling elite has plunged the Nigerian youths could start serving as an adviser at this critical period if our nation’s existence. “Yoruba youths also remember with consternation, the statements credited to Mr. Fashola that Nigeria’s power problems could be fixed in six months; three years of his reign as the minister in charge of power has not solved our perennial power problems.
