<h1>Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose is obviously not on the same page with his party, the Peoples Democratic Party on the 2023 presidency.&nbsp;</h1>

<p>The opposition party presents a northerner and former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.</p>

<p>But Fayose believes the south should be the region to produce the next president at the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure in 2023.</p>

<p>Expressing his support for southern presidency, the former governor on Wednesday, June 29, 2022, said Buhari’s presidency implies that the next president must be a southerner.</p>

<p>Fayose also used the ‘it’s my turn’ mantra which is politically associated with the campaign of the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), <strong>Bola Tinubu.</strong></p>

<p>However, Fayose’s tweet left many wondering as the former governor asked his followers to watch out for details.</p>

<p><em>“The current President of Nigeria is a 2-term Northern Presidency, thus implying that it MUST be a Southern Presidency in 2023 or NOTHING. Awa ‘South’ lo kan’. Nigerians should await details soon.”</em> he tweeted.</p>

<h2><strong>What’s does Fayose’s tweet mean?</strong></h2>

<p>Out of the three frontrunners in the 2023 presidential race, Tinubu and Peter Obi are southerners, while Atiku hails from the north.</p>

<p>Tinubu is the candidate of the ruling APC while Obi, who dumped the PDP last month is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.</p>

<p>However, it’s not clear yet if Fayose is willing to support either Tinubu or Obi since he wants the next president to emerge from the south.&nbsp;</p>
