‘The North Still Wants Presidency in 2023’- Arewa Youth Forum

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has said irrespective of recent political happenings, the North will not cede power to the South come 2023.

This was disclosed by the President of the AYCF, Shettima Yerima, in an interview with Vanguard on Tuesday.

He said it would be barbaric for southern politicians to think the North would leave power for them in 2023.

He said, “How can you think we will cede power to the South in 2023? The North still wants the presidency. The south is in charge of the economy and they have everything, so why would they want to take away the only thing we have. What would you call that?

“Even if we are ceding power to the south in 2023, we should be considering people like Orji Uzor Kalu. He is someone the north trusts and the Northern elders will give him their full support. Most Nigerians don’t know that Kalu’s incarceration emanated from conspiracy and betrayal from his party, the APC.”
