Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, says the All Progressives Congress must zone its presidential ticket to the south if it intends to retain power in 2023.
Akeredolu made the comment in a post he shared on his Facebook page on Thursday.
“APC must work to retain power. We must rotate power to retain power. Rotate to the south. Shikena (finish),” the Ondo governor said.
The special convention of the party to pick a presidential candidate is scheduled for June 6. The Ondo governor was named as chairman of security and compliance for the convention.
It is speculated that the APC may pick a northern presidential candidate following the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to elect former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate.
Senate President Ahmad Lawan is said to be among the strong contenders for APC’s ticket.
