“Amongst these secondary reasons, power shift has become a prominent factor for stabilizing the political system in Nigeria and more so, that we are a plural society where there are divergent views on issues of national concerns, this however, remains a political engagement to review the profile of contending stakeholders against 2023, most specifically from Southern Nigeria.” The statement added.
According to the group, the consultation tour seeks to initiate a political framework of engagement with Northern based civil society groups and it will undertake interactions with youth, women and faith based organizations in furtherance of the already existing programmes of #thenextpresident.

For North East, Borno, Taraba and Bauchi are considered, while North West will be Kano, Kaduna and Sokoto, calling on all well-meaning Nigerians, youth, students, women and political leaders to support power rotation and shift to the South as it remains the fulcrum for balancing power in Nigeria,” the group explained.
