Baba-Ahmed stated this at the Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series in Zaria, Kaduna.
However, Igbokwe, on his Facebook page wrote: “Heaven won’t fall if another Northerner is elected president – Hakeem Baba-Ahmad.

This statement has been condemned by prominent Nigerians, who subscribed to the South producing Buhari’s successor.
Southern Governors a few days ago insisted that the region would produce Nigeria’s next president.
