Immediate past governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima has called for power rotation between the northern and southern parts of the country, saying the presidency should shift to the South in 2023 in the spirit of fairness and justice.
Shettima made this known on Friday in Abuja during the public presentation of an autobiography by the Chairman of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund’s (TETFund) Research and Development Standing Committee, Njidda Mamadu Gadzama.
The presentation of the book titled: “Standing For The Truth With Courage,” attracted top dignitaries including the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, former Governor of Bauchi State, Ahmadu Muazu, among others. Shettima, who was chairman of the event, blamed selfish politicians for the problems rocking Nigeria, adding that religion and ethnicity are being used by some to pursue their selfish agenda and called for unity and justice in the country.
Shettima said Nigeria must not be allowed to implode, as no country in the continent would be able to accommodate its huge population.
