The outcome of the election has seen some forum of unity returning to the North; what with the support Buhari received from the Middle Belt, especially Benue, Kogi and Kwara. A strategic step would be to give Senate presidency to Benue or Kwara to help firm up the new alliance. The North-East should be content with deputy’s post. North- East and North-West are like Siamese twins in the context of Nigerian politics: one should be content with being represented by the other. If care is not taken the personal interest of candidates from the two zones will torpedo the new-found alliance. Politicians from the zones are already displaying the usual arrogance, forgetting that it was the votes of the North-Central and the South- West that saw Buhari over the top.
