Replacing Tinubu after four years with another Southerner who will likely serve eight years won’t fly, ethnic sentiments.“Nigerians are at a point in mass societal thought where they do not believe anyone in Aso Rock can make an actual difference to their lives and they cling only to the bragging rights of “the President is from my place” than any other imagined reality.”
Jonathan did only one term in office and was removed after losing the 2015 presidential election to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
