A lecturer in the Department of Political Science, University of Ilorin, Dr Isiaq Abdulwaheed, has described the plan by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to dump power shift to the South as a catalyst to national distrust and mutual disharmony.
The university don also said that many Nigerians had doubted the sincerity of the political class of northern stock in the APC before now.
“It will be one of the catalysts to national distrust and mutual disharmony if anything, national disintegration. Before now, many have expressed doubt about the North’s sincerity and respect for others, regardless of their party affiliation. They have doubted the north keeping to their promises. Many have even said the North aren’t interested in national cohesion on power-sharing and that they can compromise even party arrangements to pave way for another party to win an election as long as the flag bearer of that other party is of northern extraction.
“This is definitely not the time to betray an arrangement for the rotational presidency, especially, considering the secession agitation by southern parts, especially the South East. Everybody knows that the South West has been the balancing equilibrium in disintegration prevention, should the north attempt to distort this arrangement, they will be vindicating those who have also been doubtful of their sincerity and calling for the Yoruba nation.
“Come what may, should the northern conspiracy succeed in this unfortunate scheming, it may affect negatively our common togetherness and national cohesion as a nation as it would damage seriously the fabric of trust tying together the North and South,” Abdulwaheed said.
