Dr Olayiwola Samson Mercy, General Overseer of Christ Divine Churches International, Abeokuta, during the church anniversary on Sunday, while speaking of Presidency 2023, said that the next president will emergy from the Southwest.
The power tussle of the Presidential sit has not just been about which political party will rule and which would not, but it has also always been about what tribe would occupy power. The last Yoruba President to occupy the position of power was former President Olusegun Obasanjo who ccupied power for 8 years.
According to Olayiwola Samson, it is the turn of the Yorubas to occupy the Presidency.
He said;
“In 2023, power will return to Southwest because it’s Yorubas’ turn. Like you know, an average northern wants to stay in power. And may I say this, in 2023, we have to force power out of the north because they are not ready to quit the stage for other zones.
He also urged Yoruba leaders to put up a fierce fight to occasion a power shift, because the northerners are ready to hold on to power beyond 2023.
TheCable also reported that the Clergyman debunked the idea of Nigeria breaking up, affirming his belief that the country will remain united.
In his words;
“But, I want you to be rest assured that Nigeria will not break up. We will definitely have crises and we will resolve it. Do you think a politician who just emerged as governor in Imo State would be part of moves for Nigeria’s break up? If you hear some people calling for war or kidnapping everywhere, the political class are behind it and it’s all about 2023.”
