I’ll start by tracing a little history. The PDP came first into power in 1999 with Chief Obasanjo as President. Obasanjo spent 8 uninterrupted years as Commander in chief. This marked a full 8 years in the Southwest.
This came amidst strong clamour for a power shift within the party. But the larger northern caucus of the party were persuaded to maintain the status quo and allow power for the first time ever, to go to the south-south in the interest of unity & inclusion of a perceived “Minority Region” These chain of events laid the foundation for the once “Untouchable Giant Party” to taste its first-ever defeat, marking the first time an incumbent president lost a re-election bid in the history of the Nation
The events of 2015 & 2019 highlight one major reality. “The North is where elections are largely won & lost” After 8 years of Buhari’s tenure, there are natural calls for a power shift to the south & the body language of the incumbent party APC now suggests its candidate may come from the south.
