In what appears a major crack within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in its push to get back to power in 2023, former Ekiti State Governor Mr Ayodele Fayose has again renewed call for power rotation agreement to be respected and for power to come back to the South of Nigeria in 2023.
Fayose a member of the main opposition party’s position may be at head-on collision with the party which had last month at a delegates election elected ex-Vice President Abubakar Atiku as its flag bearer in the election.
Fayose in a tweep on Wednesday urged Nigerians especially the PDP to respect the rotational agreement, arguing that it would not sit well to have another Northerner in the saddle just immediately after President Muhammadu Buhari, a Northerner from Katsina State.
Fayose would seem by his position might be calling for support for the ruling party’s candidate. On June 8, the APC at its congress held at the Eagles Square, Abuja, elected Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as its presidential flagbearer.
Fayose said Section 3(C) of the PDP Constitution recognises rotation of power between the nation’s six major geo-political zones, arguing that the party have always respected power rotation between the North and the South.
