The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has advised the All Progressive Congress (APC) to give its 2023 presidential ticket to the South-West.
Lawan who was speaking at an interview with journalists on Saturday in Adamawa State, stated that this would best honour late Chief MKO Abiola.
The senate president also alleged that some members of the party had been plotting to suspend him from the APC for airing this view.
He said: “The president and indeed our party must beware of divisive elements who are now proponents of retaining power in the north beyond 2023.
“I have said it before and I believe that 2023 presidential ticket of the APC must go to the South-west. Since I made this comment last time, some members of my party have been hatching a plot to suspend me from the party but I am not moved and I will still hold my ground that power must go to the west.
“June 12 Democracy Day is a milestone in Nigeria’s history and anyone who embraces democracy in Nigeria should be proud of what Buhari has done and it takes so much courage to do.
“So many Nigerian leaders have shied away from talking or acting about it because of the controversy arising from the date and fear of being scandalized but this is what Nigerians want, respect, rule of law and honour for those who fought and bled for democracy and that is what Nigerians should remember as significant for this date.
“It was not marked to spite or contradict anyone but to celebrate the common value we share in the belief in democracy as the best form of government that would serve this country and its people. And Buhari must be praised for this day.”
