**2015 ELECTION** Why North should Wait Till 2027. - Dr Ogbemudia. Dr Samuel Ogbemudia, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees, is an old war horse in politics. The time- two former governor of the old Bendel State has been abroad for medical check-up and broke his silence on political issues last Wednesday. While declaring the support of the leaders of the South-South for second term for President Goodluck Jonathan, the former military tactician explained why the North is not entitled to the presidency until 2027. Question: But some people attribute the insurgency to the tussle for the 2015 presidency between the North and the South. Answer: My view is that we in the South-South want Jonathan to continue in power beyond 2015. The North is equally interested in the presidency. We should sit down and talk. If we talk, four years will not do any harm to anybody; the matter can be resolved. The South-West came in, in 1999 and served for eight years. The South-South should also do eight years. And the truth is that the South-East is also entitled to the presidency when the South-South must have finished its eight years. Question: Does that mean North should not think about power returning to them until sometime around 2027? Answer: Absolutely. Tag, Feel FREE to SHARE This post ***************************
