Chief Osita Okechukwu speaks out on Nigerian politics. He serves as an APC chieftain in Enugu State and former Director General of the Voice of Nigeria. Recently he urged Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s second term.
Okechukwu makes this call during the APC e-registration event. The event takes place at Eke Ward in Udi Local Government Area. He focuses on Northern politicians and stresses the need for unity.
The Call for Unity
Okechukwu endorses Tinubu for re-election. He asks Atiku Abubakar to respect the power rotation system. Atiku, a former Vice President, benefited from this system in the past.
Moreover, Okechukwu warns against disrupting the rotation. He states that by 2031, power should return to the North. Therefore Southerners must not contest then.
Historical Context
Nigeria adopts power rotation to promote equity. Okechukwu traces its roots to Switzerland in 1848. There, leaders prioritize national unity through good faith.
In Nigeria, military rule ends and patriots shift power South. They honor Moshood Abiola and his supporters. From 1999 to 2007, the South held the presidency before handing over to the North.
Additionally, Northern leaders like Abubakar Rimi and Umaru Shinkafi concede power. They allow Southerners like Olusegun Obasanjo to lead. This action helps Atiku become Vice President.
Benefits of Rotation
Rotation ensures inclusion for all groups. It fosters peace and sustains democracy. Okechukwu emphasizes that Nigerians must uphold this convention.
Furthermore, it prevents conflicts and builds trust. By following rotation, the country achieves stability. Leaders place national interest above personal ambitions.
Economic Reforms and Future Gains
Tinubu implements bold economic reforms. Okechukwu praises these changes. He notes that the economy rebounds with positive results. However more progress comes in a second term. Tinubu needs time to complete his vision. Thus supporters rally for continuity.
ConclusionOkechukwu’s message resonates across Nigeria. He calls for patience and adherence to rotation. In doing so, the nation strengthens its democratic foundation. Politicians listen to this advice. They work together for a united Nigeria. Moreover this approach benefits everyone.
