Northern youth groups under the All Progressives Congress (APC) have faulted President Muhammadu Buhari and 11 governors from the North over their decision to cede power southern Nigeria.
Speaking on Sunday, the youth groups, APC Progressives Youth Elements and North-East Youth Forum of APC, who protested in Bauchi, said that the governors were selfish to have agreed that power should go to the South.
Various placards with inscriptions such as: “It’s North or Nothing”, “We are not in support of power shift to South”, “We will not accept the decision of eleven governors”, and “It’s in their selfish interest” were seen at the protest ground.

Speaking in Bauchi at the protest, the leader of APC Progressives Youth Elements, Alamin Bala Mai’auduga said that it’s not time for the South to rule the country.
“We condemn the action of the eleven northern governors that supported southern candidature. We the Northern youths do not think it is time for any southerner to assume the mantle of leadership.
“What the governors did is for their selfish interest. We the Northern youths who are about 70 percent of the total population of the country are saying no. We are calling on our able National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu to weigh in on this and find a lasting solution to this issue.
“We are not going to support any southern candidate. These eleven governors that made the decision are not the only people in the North. They are doing it for their selfish interests,” he said.
