Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State has been lambasted by former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode for saying that the North will concede presidency to the South in 2023.

Femi Fani-Kayode said; “To those that seek to appease us by saying that they may concede the Presidency to the south in 2023 I say this. The south is more interested in restructuring or outright independence than the Presidency. Give us our freedom and keep your accursed Presidency.”

El-Rufai suggested that; “But as a group, the Northern APC will have to sit down and endorse someone, most likely someone from the South, because after eight years of Buhari, I don’t think the Presidency should remain in the north unless there is some extenuating circumstances. But all things being equal, we will honour our agreement and we keep our words.”
