The ongoing clamour for rotation of power to the Southern part of Nigeria particularly for the 2023 presidency has been described as a non issue for now because what the country needs now is away out of the current situation that is tearing the country apart.
Rather than such clamor which is becoming a major talk point in every forum, capability and capacity to foster unity among Nigerians should be the watchword in choosing the next President in 2023.
The assertion was made by a political pressure group in Gombe, North-East Nigeria, Hamza Almustapha Media Awareness (HALMA).
While speaking during the group’s awareness campaign in Gombe over the weekend, State Chairman of the group, Mohammed Habib, said that the group is clamouring for a better candidate that can deliver irrespective of zone, region, state, tribe or religion.
According to him, “the issue of zoning is not what we want now, all we want now is somebody who is capable and has the capacity to lead Nigeria irrespective of zone, region, state, tribe, religion or whatever background” .
He added that, “We are clamouring for a better candidate that can deliver and we believe former chief security officer to late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, that is, Major Hamza Austapha, is that person that can deliver”.
Mohammed Habib also said that, Hamza Almustapha can take the country out of its current socio-economic challenges especially in the area of security and economy.
Hamza Almustapha he opined has a security background having controlled security not only in Nigeria but two other countries.
He revealed also that, as the brain behind the establishment of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), Almustapha can revive the economy of the country for the better.
The Chairman stressed that, “On economy, he was the brain behind PTF, and it helped a lot in terms of education, medicine, infrastructure, roads and many other areas that PTF was involved in”.
