APC and the politics of deception

For those who believe in rotational Presidency, APC zoning the Presidency

to the South and not to the South East is a red herring.

In 1983, the Unity Party of Nigeria, Governorship candidate in Sokoto state said on Television that only a Sokoto man was good enough to rule Nigeria.

Meanwhile, his party had a Presidential candidate in Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The question is could he have voted for Chief Awolowo of his party or Alhaji Shehu Shagari of National Party of Nigeria from Sokoto?

In today's Politics that was Anti party activity.

Now my position is this. APC zoning their Presidential ticket to the South and not just South East is a way of making the South give the Presidency back to the North through Atiku.

Someone once said that in a class of an Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo, the Yoruba and Igbo would be jostling for who to emerge class representative.

Meanwhile, the Hausa man would be minding his business seemingly unconcerned.

Since a tie could only be broken by the Hausa, then the Yoruba and Igbo would swallow their ambition and go by the route of Vice President.

That is what APC offered BAT but now it is South, which could mean either East or West. If BAT did not know he was sold a dummy, now he knows.

The North would rather vote Atiku than BAT and the East having been promised a Vice Presidential ticket would rather vote Atiku than BAT.

The only way to stop this perfidy is a neutral party of Southerners with an Igbo as Presidential candidate.
