- Northern politician, Suleiman Muhammad Nazif, says the Peoples Democratic Party will take over from President Muhammadu Buhari

- Nazif maintains that his position is because many Nigerians are now disillusioned about the state of the country

- The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) adds that his political organisation will take over more northern states in 2023

The currently ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will not be in power beyond 2023 and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will take up the position occupied by President Muhammadu Buhari, a Nigerian politician, Suleiman Muhammad Nazif, has said.

Nazif, who is deputy national chairman of the PDP in the north, also said his party is sure to win most of the states in the region in 2023.

According to the politician, many Nigerians are not happy with the current government and its mode of administration and have decided to act against the APC in the election.
