The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, has said that the next presidential
candidate of the party will be based on agreement by stakeholders”.
Nabena, speaking with the Sun, also suggested measures the
Southeast geopolitical zone can adopt to actualise Igbo presidency in 2023.
“We know that there are six geographical zones in the
country. But what is going to be the major determinant is the agreement by
stakeholders. The unity of the country is more important than any zoning arrangement,”
he said.
Nabena added: “Every zone will be involved in the
stakeholders’ meeting. But I want to, however, urge the Igbos to know that
getting political positions involves lots of negotiations and lobbying, not by
whipping up sentiments or by force.
“The Igbo must discover their allies and go into deep
negotiations. They must begin to wake up to the reality that politics is by
number. We have seen what Igbo could only do with a political party we can say
is truly their own, APGA. How many states did APGA win in the Southeast? What
it means is that they cannot get it right with their own political party.”
