2027: Power should remain in Southern Nigeria- Art and Culture Minister says

<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/ccsa_1752236082.jpg">The Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, believes that the presidency should remain with southern Nigeria for the next term to ensure equity and balance.Nigeria practices an unofficial power-sharing deal between the North and South, with each region taking turns to produce the President.President Bola Tinubu, from the South-West region, took over from former President Muhammadu Buhari, who is from the North-West. While there have been debates as to which region the President should come from in the 2027 election, especially with the newly formed coalition on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Musawa said power should remain in southern Nigeria for the sake of fairness.So, it is understandable that after eight years of President Buhari, who is from the North, power needed to shift down to the South, right' So now, you know how it isfor the next two years, four years, it is going to be with the southern presidency, and hopefully, power should continue for the next four years after that to be with the southern presidency only to create that sort of balance.Hopefully, one day well be able to get over that, and candidates will only be judged on their capacity and what they have to bring to the table. But since we are not there yet, for the benefit of this politics now, power should certainly, for the next four to six years, remain in the southern part of the country.Hopefully, one day, wed be able to get over zoning issues and ensure candidates would only be judged based on their capacity and what they bring to the table. she saidThe post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/7/2027-power-should-remain-in-southern-nigeria-art-and-culture-minister-says.html">2027: Power should remain in Southern Nigeria- Art and Culture Minister says</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
