he speaks on some salient issues on the polity, including the insecurity in the country, clamour for power rotation and the place of former president Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2023. ExcerptsThere is so much happening within the country and it does appear as if the politics of 2023 is setting the pace of engagements. What is your reading of the situation in the country today?
In the first place, is there any provision in the Constitution of Nigeria about power rotation? There is none. This issue of power rotation was actually brought about by the PDP. In fact, it started with the NPN and then it was adopted by the PDP to ensure that every zone of this country can say one day power will come to me. It was a way to give people hope and also ensure national unity. So it is purely a political arrangement which has not been enshrined in the Constitution.
The APC is making a lot of inroads in the zone. The party retained Imo State while Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State joined it after dumping PDP. In Anambra State, the APC seems more organised compared to the PDP which has been in crisis since it lost the state in 2003. What’s more, the argument is that the second Niger Bridge that was never done under the PDP has started. So, people think that perhaps by 2023, there might be a shift towards the APC if care is not taken.
