A former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, says rotating the office of the president between the north and south is imperative to keep Nigeria one and united.
Sani made the statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.
He said that Nigerians should accept the reality of their history and continue with the rotational presidency arrangement, for now.
“We are a country of experience. There are many African countries that never had the kind of experience we had.
“We had been through a period of violent military coup, civil war, different democratic governments and military rules, and we all survived.
“Now we are experiencing banditry, terrorism and I believe we will survive.
“If you look at the multi-ethnic/religious nations such as ours, people feel more comfortable when they see someone from their part of the country in power,” he said.
