A former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has hinted on contesting for the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Amaechi gave the indication when he appeared on Channels Television's Politics Today on Thursday.
Recall that the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi had earlier confirmed that he has submitted his single term proposal to the members of the opposition coalition.
Obi said he was committed to doing a single term and handing over to a Northerner in the spirit of the power rotation.
Amaechi has now toed the same path.
When asked if he will consider the balance of power if he is given the ticket, the ex-governor of Rivers insisted it was an unwritten rule in Nigerian politics.
He replied: "Of course. For now, the way Nigeria is, you must keep to that unwritten agreement that says North eight years and South eight years.
"I led the fight against the PDP government. Why? Because there was an agreement that the government at the time will serve four years.
"And after four years, that government reneged. And I said no, that will be unfair.
"That will be instability at its peak because the North will react. So the best thing to do, is to support the Northern candidate to continue the balance of power.
"This time around, the South must be allowed to complete their tenure."
Meanwhile, Amaechi has also accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of frustrating the efforts of opposition political parties to form a force against the ruling All Progressives Congress in the 2027 general elections.
According to him, the commission was deliberately delaying the registration of new political parties.
He said if the INEC had registered the All Democratic Alliance, ADA, “we would probably not have bothered about going to the ADC.
“The political space is closed for the benefit of the APC. I come to say that the INEC chairman is not ashamed.”
According to him, the current INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu is in the mold of erstwhile chairman of the commission, Prof Maurice Iwu.
