We have practised a seemingly rotational presidency since 1999 to date. Let\u2019s evaluate our successes or achievements from this seeming rotational presidency between then, and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t we simply go for the best after all, we copy this democracy from America and some of the developed world. How many of these countries are practising rotational presidency? You see, we are where we are today not because we are practising rotational presidency. If you want to go by that rotational presidency, then do perfect zoning. Go by perfect rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd if you go by rotation and whichever way you come from, I don\u2019t think you should exclude where I come from. That\u2019s number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNumber two, let us get a credible, sincere, patriotic, Nigerian to fix it. If you are flying an aircraft, you don\u2019t ask who is the pilot. If you take the operation in a hospital, you wouldn\u2019t ask which doctor is this, is he from your zone, your tribe, your religion, all you want is the best pilot to fly you safely to your destination. All you want is the best doctor to handle you and deliver you safely from the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think Nigeria is at that position where we should seek the best from anywhere in this country, irrespective of where he comes from. Thereafter, you balance the remaining position to reflect equity, fairness and justice. That is my position.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, on Friday described the rotational presidency as an outdated system.
