Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has said that another Northerner should be allowed to rule for four years after President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to ensure equity and justice for the Northern region. He said that the South has ruled Nigeria for 14 years while the North has ruled for 10 years, and that allowing the North to rule for another four years will make the North to equal the South.
In the report which was made by Daily Post on Wednesday, Dogara said that the South produced Olusegun Obasanjo, and he ruled for eight years, and they also produced Goodluck Jonathan who ruled for six years. And that makes it fourteen years.
He added that the North produced the late Musa Yar’Adua, and he ruled for two years, and the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari who will be eight years in office soon. He said that makes it a total of ten years, and that the North needs another four years to make it even with the South. He said this while speaking in Kaduna recently.
He said – “And if we must say the truth, Jonathan is a Christian, Obasanjo is a Christian. Obasanjo ruled for eight years, and Jonathan ruled for six years. So if we sum the two together, we, I mean we, because I am a Christian, we have ruled this country for 14 years. Buhari has ruled for eight years and Yar’Adua ruled for two years, making a total of ten years. So we can only be just by allowing the Muslims have a balance of four years. Also, the two Christian Presidents are from the South, so the North has a balance of four years.”
