The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said the South should produce the next president of Nigeria. El-Rufai stated this during an interview on BBC Hausa on Saturday. According to him, he will not support a Northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. The Governor also denied he has ambition to contest for presidency in three years. “In Nigerian politics, there is a system of rotation, in which everyone agrees that if the north rules for eight years, the south will rule for eight years. “That is why I came out and said that after President Buhari has been in office for eight years, no northerner should run for office.
