Group says move will strengthen national unity, political stability, democratic inclusiveness By Dayo Johnson, Akure The Director-General of BTO For PBAT ’27 Support Group, Ogbeni Adojutelegan Adesuyi Gideon, has said the presidency should remain in Southern Nigeria until 2031 to promote equity, fairness and political balance.
In a statement issued in Akure, he acknowledged that power rotation was not expressly provided for in the Constitution but argued that it remained an important political arrangement for sustaining national cohesion and strengthening democratic institutions.
He said the issue should be approached with political maturity and a commitment to the stability of the federation. The group, which operates under the leadership of the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, said equitable political arrangements were essential to sustaining mutual trust and deepening democracy. Adojutelegan described the return of power to the South in 2023 as significant, arguing that allowing the region to complete eight years in 2031 would serve the interest of political balance. “The position of BTO For PBAT ’27 is clear and unequivocal: the presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should remain in the South until 2031.
