Zulum: After Tinubu, presidency will return to North
原文原文 / Original Text
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has urged Nigerians to remain patient with the Federal Government’s efforts to address insecurity, poverty and other challenges.
Zulum made the call on Sunday in Kaduna shortly after an engagement meeting with Northern Nigeria women Ulama and Islamic scholars.
He said Northern leaders had resolved to support President Bola Tinubu’s second term bid, with an understanding that power would return to the North afterwards.
The governor said the decision was aimed at promoting unity and sustaining peaceful coexistence between Northern and Southern Nigeria.
“About five years ago, we decided to ensure unity in Northern Nigeria, and we have achieved our objective,” Zulum said.
He said the North had supported the emergence of Tinubu, stressing that political understanding between the two regions should be sustained.
Zulum said Northern leaders were committed to fulfilling promises made to Southern leaders concerning power rotation.
He urged Nigerians to support the President’s administration and allow it to consolidate its policies and programmes.
