All of us are unanimous in our position that the next president of this country must come from the south,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, we are unanimous. It is not a political platform. I believe that any party that picks somebody from the north would have to face the whole southern region, southern government because they would not support it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it has to come from the south. We are saying that there must be, what I will call rotational. The justice of it, the fairness in it, that is what we are preaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf my president \u2013 President Buhari \u2014 has been in office for eight years, so it can\u2019t be from the north, the next president must come from the south.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many people that are competent. We have competent people in the north as we have competent people in the south, so the president can come from any part of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the efforts of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) to get the federal government to stop states from enacting the anti-open grazing law, the governor said the association can challenge the states in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me be very clear, the position of the southern governors on this is that we have resolved not to respond to MACBAN or whatever name they call themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to dignify them with a response. We are a government over a people. We are a government over our respective states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing that matters to us is that, if anybody wants to challenge our law, let them go to court, we will meet them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has stated that southerners won&#8217;t support any political party that picks northern presidential candidate in the 2023 election.
