Hannatu Musawa, the Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, has said that in order to maintain equity and balance, authority should continue to reside in the South in the upcoming term.
According to reports, outgoing North-West President Muhammadu Buhari was replaced by South-West President Bola Tinubu.
According to Musawa, power should remain in southern Nigeria for the purpose of fairness, notwithstanding discussions of which region should elect the president in 2027, particularly in light of the recently established coalition on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Speaking on Channels Television on Friday, Musawa said he hoped Nigeria would ultimately get to a stage when candidates are evaluated only on their qualifications. But the nation isn’t there yet, she admitted.

“So, it makes sense that power had to move to the South after eight years of President Buhari, who is from the North,” she said. As it stands, the southern presidency will have power for the next two to four years. Ideally, power will remain with the southern presidency for the following four years in order to maintain that kind of equilibrium.
One day, maybe, we’ll be able to get past it and evaluate people only on their qualifications and contributions. However, since we haven’t arrived yet, power should undoubtedly stay in the southern region of the nation for the next four to six years in order to gain from this politics. For the next six years, power ought to remain in the south in order to establish equilibrium.
