Perhaps for the very first time in the nation’s history, agitations about where the next person to rule the country comes from has become something of grave concern to almost all Nigerians, and the debate is taking such a dangerous dimension which if not properly managed is capable of setting the whole country on fire.
The attempt by Jonathan to continue in office for eight years after a four-year term as president was scuttled as he lost the election to the incumbent Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. Now, as the eight years of the present regime gradually winds up, the argument is everywhere that power should once again shift to the South. In order to articulate their position properly, the Southern Governors held a meeting recently where a unanimously agreement was reached on the issue.
In reality however, everything about Nigeria’s leadership is skewed in favour of the North and all Nigerian leaders, irrespective of wherever they come from, are bound to serve the northern interests. For instance, ask any Yoruba indigene what the Yoruba gained from Obasanjo’s eight years in Aso rock or what the South South can point at as their own dividend of democracy made possible under the Jonathan’s administration and the unmistaken answers would be completely negative.
Now if the incumbent president is being accused of placing the Northern interest above those of others in almost all the key positions in the country, he is only following the original masterplan and it only confirms a reality most Nigerians are either ignorant of or not yet ready to accept.
In order to keep other regions in the dark perpetually, the North employs all manners of antics including hiding the true population of the north.
