A Kaduna state governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), senator Shehu Sani, has declared that northern politicians were ready to cede power to the south.

Senator Sani, who spoke in Asaba, Delta State, at a seminar organised by Delta State Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), said it was likely that a northerner would pick the ticket of the PDP.

Sani noted that the ruling APC was only playing a cat and mouse game with PDP, adding that if a northerner picks the ticket of the opposition party, the APC may likel follow same direction.

The governorship hopeful however advised the ruling party to honour it’s words if there was any agreement that there would be power transfer to the south in 2023.

He said politicians can’t continue to accept the principle of Federal Character and at the same time, kick against zoning.

“APC is playing cat and mouse game with PDP. If the opposition fields a northern candidate, APC will field a northerner.

“This is because of the belief that the poorest of the poor in the north vote according the dictates of their leaders. That is the sentiment.

“The unity in the north is not in the south. The North-East, North-West and North-Central will vote for a northern candidate, but it is not so in the south.

“APC is afraid of zoning their ticket to the south because if they do so, and a northerner emerges PDP flag bearer, the ruling party may lose the presidential election,” Sani stated.

He added that if the opposition party was really desirous of taking over power, it should avoid internal bickering, and unite as a force, take advantage of the appalling situation in the country to articulate it’s points.

“For PDP, whoever emerges, after the presidential primary, the party has a duty to rally round him to rescue this country,” he added.
