Media executive and Peoples Democratic Party top shot, Raymond Dokpesi, has said that fairness demands that the North produce the next President after Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, the South has had more years than the North since 1999 when democracy returned.
Besides, he believes a northern candidate is the best for his party in 2023.
In an interview with ‘Daily Independent’, Dokpesi said: “In the case of PDP, let us look at it honestly. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo from the South-West did eight years; Goodluck Jonathan from the South-South also did six years. That made a total of 14 years.
“On the other hand, Umaru Yar’Adua from the North did three years, so there is an imbalance of 11 years. If in 2019, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had not been rigged out of that election, he would have come back in 2023 to say that he wants to do a second term. And would anybody have stood on his way? No!
“So, for the PDP, the presidential candidate must come from the North in 2023. People should exercise patience because it will still come back to the South.”
