 An open letter to Charles Chukwuma Soludo: By Olasupo Abideen  BY OLASUPO ABIDEEN Dear Governor, We have been conditioned to believe for a long time that it is easier to walk a camel through the eye of a needle than find a technocrat with an astute academic background holding an executive office in Nigeria. Only an insanely small number of determined, highly educated, well-traveled, and very grounded persons like yourself have been able to achieve this. For that, I want to congratulate you on your emergence as the executive governor of Anambra state; for being a beacon of hope to so many young Nigerians, technocrats, and as a signal to the old guards that the future has started.

But your emergence, nonetheless, is a tell-tale sign that just maybe, future elections in Nigeria may start to follow the direction of the Anambra election. Your campaign towards your emergen

Mohammed said the claim that power must shift to the Southern part of the country in 2023 is meant for the All Progressives Congress, APC, and not the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He said the North still has four years left, based on the arrangement of the PDP. Mohammed disclosed this when a Contact and Consultation Committee he set up for his presidential ambition submitted its report to him on Friday at the Government House in Bauchi. Mohammed said, “We are aware of the agitations of the southern part of the country because the leader of the country today, President Muhammadu Buhari, who is from the North, will finish his tenure in 2023, so power should rotate to the South. “But I want to say that I am in PDP, I am not in APC.
