Kebbi: Group Tasks Bagudu On Power Rotation

A group, the Cry for Justice Movement in Kebbi, has urged Gov. Atiku Bagudu to institutionalise power rotation among the three political zones in the state, to ensure equity.
The spokesman of the group, Alhaji Abdullahi Muhammad-Lamba, gave the advice in Birnin Kebbi, yesterday.
He said that people from the Kebbi Central Senatorial District had been ruling the state from 1999 till date.
“It is high time the governorship position be shifted to Kebbi North or South Senatorial Districts in 2023.
“We are calling on our governor to come forward and shoulder this responsibility, and make power rotation a state policy.
“If he does this, the people of the state will never forget him for enshrining and ensuring equity in the sharing of political positions in Kebbi.
“As a good friend of our governor, and as someone who wants him to succeed, I strongly advise our governor to institutionalise power rotation in the state.
“The power should shift from Kebbi Central to either Kebbi North or South, that has never had the opportunity to produce a governor”.
“We are not saying the power will remain in one particular senatorial district, it should be rotational just like what is happening in Sokoto and Niger,” Muhammad-Lamba said.
According to him, Sokoto and Niger states have been practicing power rotation since 1999 to date and the issue is not new in Nigerian politics.
