Afenifere, Yoruba socio-political organisation has lambasted Northern Governors for saying that it is unconstitutional for the Southern Governors to insist on producing Nigeria’s next president.

Afenifere’s Spokesman, Jare Ajayi said;

“The meeting also deliberated on the Resolutions of the Northern Governors that took place in Kaduna on Monday, September 27, 2021.”

“It is a known fact that Afenifere strongly stands by the Southern Governors in their resolution on anti-grazing laws, on Value Added Tax and on a person of Southern extraction becoming the President of Nigeria in 2023.”

“We note with delight, the court judgment that empowers the states to collect VAT.”

“We urge states governments to further explore more areas to deepen democracy and enhance the frontier of true federalism in Nigeria.”
