Power Cannot Remain In North Forever -Shina Peller Opines

A member of the House of representatives, Shina Peller has noted that power cannot cannot be in the North forever.

Mr. Peller made this comment in reaction to Mr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed’s comment he made.

While reacting to a statement issued the maverick law maker suggested that both the North and South should work together in a bid to strengthen the institutions.

“How can the Northern Elders Forum tell Nigerians that power can’t shift to the south in 2023?”, he quizzed.

“I disagree with their position. Having the majority votes does not imply that the principle of equity and equality should be ignored.

“Even as Muslims, our religion preaches peace and for it to flourish, there must be justice, equity and fairness. Power can’t remain in the north forever.

“I expect the south and north to work together to build strong institutions towards promoting unity and bring about a desirable shift in 2023 when there won’t be an incumbent President at the polls.

“This is an opportunity to correct a generational defect not focusing on factors that divide us.

“Allow the younger generation regardless of religion or ethnicity to work in synergy to build a nation of their dreams. Please let’s not heat the polity unnecessarily.”
