2023: Heaven will fall if another Northerner is elected after Buhari – Tinubu’s supporter

Joe Igbokwe, one of the supporters of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said heaven would fall if another Northerner is elected after President Muhammadu Buhari.

Igbokwe, the Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Drainage and Sewage reacted to the statement of the Northern Elders Forum, on Nigeria’s next President.

The former spokesman of the APC, on Wednesday, warned that heaven would fall if another Northerner is elected after Buhari.

Recall that the Northern Elders Forum on Tuesday had said heaven will not fall if a northerner is elected the next Nigerian President.

The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, in a statement, had said the North is not ready to hand over power to another region in 2023.

Maintaining that northerners are not second-class citizens, he said the north will not accept to serve as a second fiddle in 2023 when the region has the population to go to clinch the first position.

The NEF spokesman added that anyone against a Northern president should leave the country if someone from the region emerges.

Baba-Ahmed stated this at the Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series in Zaria, Kaduna.

However, Igbokwe, on his Facebook page wrote: “Heaven won’t fall if another Northerner is elected president – Hakeem Baba-Ahmad.

“Me- Hear me well, heaven will falloooo.”

The statement of the NEF spokesman has been condemned by prominent individuals who believe it’s the turn of the South to produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.

Southern Governors a few days ago insisted that the region would produce Nigeria’s next president.
