A statement by Mamman Daura a nephew of President Muhammadu Buhari about the most qualified Nigerian irrespective of zone succeeding his uncle in 2023 is generating a lot of debates on social media.
In a rare interview with the BBC Hausa Service on Tuesday, Daura said since Nigerians have thrice tried rotational presidency, it would be better to go for the most qualified candidate in 2023 irrespective of whether he comes from the north or the south.
“Rotation has been done once, twice and three times; it is important that this nation is united as one; the most qualified/competent should be elected and not someone who comes from a particular zone,” he said.
