Borno State Governor urges south-south and south-east regions to negotiate for 2023 presidency

The executive governor of Borno state Governor Babagana Zulum has called on leaders of the south-south and south-east regions to negotiate for the 2023 presidency.

Babagana Zulum made this known at the 17th Chief Gani Fawehinmi annual lecture in Lagos held on Friday, January 15

Zulum said  “To our friends and brothers in the south-south and south-east particularly, only God gives power but you have to negotiate for power.

“Negotiation becomes easier when you make friends across the divide. If we negotiate for power, we don’t always get everything we want, but we will normally mention every clause that covers everything we need.

“I said this because I have heard many people say ‘they don’t want to give us power’ but assumptions and projections will never actualise your aspirations. We must all remember that God gives power but human beings negotiate for it.

“Every interested party must be prepared to negotiate for it.”
