The Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu has said that the Southern governors would not support any political party that fielded a northerner as a presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections.

Akeredolu said this while featuring on a Channels Television programme, “Politics Today”

He declared that the Presidency cannot return to the North after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him “the Southern governors from three major political parties of All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) were unanimous in their resolution on the zoning of the presidency and would follow it to the letter.

Recall that the governors at their meeting in Lagos in July insisted that the presidency should be zoned to Southern Nigeria in 2023 after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.
