As debate on which region of Nigeria to produce the next president of the country after incumbent Muhammadu Buhari, the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has declared that it is the turn of the South to produce the next president.

The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai stated this during an interview on BBC Hausa today, Saturday August 8.

He disclosed that he would not support a Northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 and denied having ambition to contest as president in the next three years.

He said: “In Nigerian politics, there is a system of rotation, in which everyone agrees that if the north rules for eight years, the south will rule for eight years.

“That is why I came out and said that after President Buhari has been in office for eight years, no northerner should run for office. Let the Southerners also have eight years”.

He added: “It has been said that I have loved the presidency since I was a minister in the FCT. This is nonsense. I do not want the Nigerian presidency.”
