According to him, when Olusegun Obasanjo became president, there was an unwritten consensus to elect a Southwestern leader to address regional grievances following the presumed election victory and death of MKO Abiola.
Okupe stated, “Those who control the affairs of this nation, in terms of politics before now, were more interested in national interest than sectional interest.
“Our failure to evolve a national elite system is one of the most fundamental problems why Nigeria is stagnating because we all pull in different directions.”
He stated, “For 2027, we politicians, and I say that authoritatively without any fear of contradiction or equivocation… in 2027, power cannot return to the North yet. That’s not how we do it.”
“We rotate between the North and the South. The North does eight years, at the end of which the South does eight years,” he explained. “I’m not saying that Bola Tinubu must be president in 2027, but it’s not going to be a northerner.”
He lamented the inability of past leaders, including Ibrahim Babangida, Olusegun Obasanjo, Abdulsalami Abubakar, and TY Danjuma, to nurture a younger elite class, stating, “These are some of the people who have managed the affairs of this country in terms of political balancing for the last 25 years.
“Unfortunately, and I regret to say this, they’ve not been able to raise an elite class, a younger group, that can effectively take over from them along the same platforms on which we have grounded this polity that it is the way it is today.”
He warned that any attempt by the North to back a Southern representative against Tinubu could result in the representative serving an eight-year term, creating a dilemma for the North.
Referring to the Tinubu administration, Okupe commended the president’s serious reforms aimed at addressing the country’s socio-economic challenges, which he described as dire when Tinubu assumed office.…READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE : …READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE
