by harrison arubu5 although it is still a small number if you look at it but we are hoping we will get there one day he said1 ndume made the call when he appeared as a guest on the news agency of nigeria nan forum in abuja on sunday1 the lawmaker who represents borno south in the senate noted that in the interest of fairness equity and natural justice it was proper for someone from his constituency to be allowed to serve the state as governor1 it is feasible if there is an agreement and that is what i have been advocating for i am part of the advocacy for power rotation1 former leader of the senate ali ndume has renewed his call for borno south senatorial district to be allowed to produce the next governor of the state1 unfortunately it did not see the light of the day because the majority had their way. but we have started the struggle. it is not something that is realisable in a day1 ndume identified lack of unity and understanding among the minorities in the district as the major challenge undermining their aspiration1 he however said he had seen some improvement as the people of southern borno had become more united than before1 we are giving it a shot because out of the 23 or 24 contestants for the gubernatorial election we have about three or four people from southern borno this time around1 but let me say that when i was the senate leader i made sure that power rotation was included in the constitution amendment bill1
