El-Rufai said that it was the same approach adopted by previous presidents and wondered why any section of the country would expect that it would be offered the presidency without negotiation.
, conceded that the presidency should go to the South in 2023, but he said the Southeast should not bank on getting the slot by threatening to pull out of Nigeria. “Presidency is not by allocation; it is the result of a political process. You join a political party, your party negotiates with other parts of the country and it happens.
He said: “Everyone in Nigeria is aware that Ndigbo have been maltreated and are still being maltreated. There are two options: either for the Igbo to validate it, to rejoice over it and to be comfortable with it or for Ndigbo to condemn it, to cry out over it and to criticise it. “Look at the rate of violence in the Southeast today; you want us to believe it is our people that are causing it?
He said: “I don’t know where he is getting that impression, because the Southeast political leaders have never threatened to secede if they are not given the opportunity to produce the president. “If he is insinuating that we want to get the presidency through threat of secession, I think that must be a very mischevous statement from him because there is no basis for that to have given anybody that impression.
“It is not by arrogant brigandage and brinkmanship. We are a nation with many parts, and it is important that in all that we are doing, all parts must be carried along. “Both groups are in the same self-determination like the Igbo. But not all Igbo are demanding for Biafra. The delegation was in Government House to confer on the governor the “2019/2020 Good Governance Award” for his outstanding achievements in project execution in Rivers.
“I remember when I came in 2015, when they were honouring one of their friends as a minister on live television; El-Rufai had the temerity to say that election cannot stand in Rivers State and that they would kick me out.”
That is not the issue. 50yrs after SE lost 3mln citizens to civil war, what has change. 2023 presidency is not important anymore.
