…………Southern Governors insists on producing the next president

As the controversy over which region should produce the next president, Governors of the Southern states have jointly agreed that Nigeria’s next President should come from the southern region.

They made the announcement on Monday after a closed-door meeting in Lagos held to discuss issues concerning the state of the nation.

The Chairman of the Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu, who made this known while addressing journalists after the meeting said the resolve was made after much deliberation on the happenings across the country presently.

The meeting which is being hosted by Lagos Governor Bababjide Sanwo-Olu had in attendance Governor Seyi Makinde (Oyo); Dapo Abiodun (Ogun); Gboyega Oyetola (Osun); Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and Nyesom Wike (Rivers).
