Whichever way, the North should be appreciated for such a gesture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOlusegun Obasanjo handed over power to Yar\u2019adua in 2007, when he died, Jonathan took over. In 2015, the South joined the North to install Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s therefore politically justifiable for the North to equally support a Southerner to take over power come 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObasanjo never disappointed the North and Nigerians, Olusegun Bamgbose will not disappoint Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a matter of fact, I\u2019m considering Yusuf Buhari as my running mate come 2023. It\u2019s high time the youths took over power in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis consideration of mine might look awkward to many Nigerians but it\u2019s because they can\u2019t see what I\u2019m seeing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYusuf Buhari is a material for leadership. I\u2019m blessed with the gift of seeing beyond the physical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remembered vividly that I once told Jonathan\u2019s Aide that suicide bombing was coming, he doubted me but we all know what\u2019s happening now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2015 I told Nigerians that Buhari will defeat Jonathan, many thought I was talking nonsense but it came to pass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier this year I told Nigerians that a new Chief of Staff will emerge, that has equally happened. Yusuf Buhari is an asset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see him soaring higher politically, other things being equal, he will be my running mate come 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has some hidden potentials which will soon begin to manifest soon to the delight of many Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhichever you look at it Buhari\u2019s name will be difficult to erase in the political history of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after the exit of Buhari as President of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari will still be prominent and very useful. There is something I\u2019m seeing in her that many Nigerians are ignorant of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is an asset. Nigerians are yet to know the wealth stored in her\u2026 I hope to meet Yusuf Buhari soon for some serious political discussions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all, the North should concede power to the South come 2023. They won\u2019t regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa Press-Nigeria: Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq, the National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has hinted on having Yusuf Buhari, son of the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, as his running mate in the 2023 presidential election.
