Abaribe is currently regarded as one of the most influential southerners on the Nigerian political scene. So it is no joke for someone to believe they have everything they need to replace President Buhari in 2023. After Abaribe announced his intention to run in the 2023 gubernatorial election in Abia, questions were raised whether this was good news for southerners ahead of the 2023 general election.
Is Abaribe’s statement about the southern state ahead of the 2023 presidential election bad news?
Given Abaribe’s influence on the Nigerian political scene, his decision to run for governor of the state of Abia in 2023 can be considered bad news for southerners.
Abaribe is definitely one of the few southern politicians who can pull the strings for the region if he runs in the 2023 presidential election. With other influential Southerners out of the equation, Southerners may have to wonder if securing the presidency in 2023 is really an attainable feat.
Do you think Abaribe’s statement ahead of the 2023 general election is good news for southerners?
Meanwhile, another hanging question in the mind of so many Nigerians is the question of; Who will represent the southeast if Atiku and Tinubu represent their respective tribes?
In February 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari will rule for 8 years, which means the northerner will end his 8 years and two terms. This fact sparked talk of limiting power rotation and zoning ahead of an election year. The question many ask is, “Where will the next President and Commander-in-Chief of Africa’s most populous nation come from after 2023’s election?” Will he come from the Southwest, Southeast, or North to hold on to power?
