Femi Falana isn’t holding back when it comes to Nigeria’s current political conversations. The human rights advocate made it clear that talk about power rotation ahead of the 2027 elections is taking attention away from what truly matters — www.naijnaira.com reports.
While speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Falana called out the fixation on which region should take power next, calling it a sideshow in the face of more urgent problems. “I’m not going to join the campaign for power shift or power remaining in one part of the country for four years or eight years. No, that’s diversionary,” he said.
According to Channels Television, Falana wants politicians to stop playing what he terms “elite power games” and instead focus on solving real problems like insecurity, poverty, and Nigeria’s crumbling infrastructure. He believes the energy being poured into zoning discussions would be better spent on policies that actually touch people’s lives.
He spoke on the need to tackle the country’s structural challenges head-on, saying only then can real progress begin. Falana isn’t interested in which region leads — he’s calling for a leadership mindset rooted in accountability and national progress.
