Political jobbers Femi Fani-Kayode and Reno Omokri have urged Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s ambition to earn a second term in office.
President Tinubu recently appointed the duo as Nigerian ambassador designates to South Africa and Mexico respectively. Writing on their X social media platforms on Saturday, both men said it was in the best interest of Nigeria, Tinubu wins in 2027.
“In view of recent political events, it has become necessary and expedient for us, Ambassadors Designate Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and Mr. Bemigho Reno Omokri, to state categorically that we believe it is in the best interest of the stability, unity, and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and in keeping with the Gentleman’s Agreement, which ushered in our Fourth Republic in 1999, after sixteen years of turbulence and political instability, for there to be a balanced and orderly rotation of power in Nigeria, between the North and the South,” the post read.
“We further affirm that, having completed and made full and unfettered use of two terms of four years, under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, Northern Nigeria, with the support of patriots from Southern Nigeria, had its full, uninterrupted, and undisturbed tenure in this power rotation arrangement.
“And that, after that tenure, it is the turn of Southern Nigeria to take and retain the baton of power for a commensurate period of time, to wit, two terms of four years each.”
They argued that it was the turn of the southern part of the country to produce the President and there northern politicians must allow the southerns to complete their eight years.
“We urge the political class, to note that the reason Switzerland has been stable, peaceful, and prosperous for the last 211 years is because that Alpine nation wisely introduced power sharing amongst its multiethnic population and has not seen any conflict since 1815, and particularly since 1848 when its power-sharing policy took root.”
