Doyin Okupe, a former aide to ex-Presidents, Olusegun
Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, has written to the National Chairmen of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over zoning
of their presidential tickets.
In a letter he entitled, ‘2023: Igbo presidency as a
national imperative’, addressed to APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi
Adamu and Senator Iyorchia Ayu of the PDP, Doyin Okupe explained how the death
of Moshood Abiola and Sani Abacha led to the issue of zoning in the country.
With the likes of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar,
Bukola Saraki and other northerners battling for the PDP’s presidential ticket,
Okupe said it would be unjust for another northerner to climb the seat after
President Buhari, insisting that power must come to the South.
He maintained that any argument against power shift to the
South was inimical to the unity and stability of the country, arguing further
that once the tickets are zoned to the South, the next president must come from
the South East
In his letter, the former presidential aide argued that in
the South, the South East is the only region yet to produce a civilian
president for the country.
“Fellow Nigerians, let us come together as a fair and just
nation that we are. Let us concession the presidency to the Southeast in 2023
and decisively end the Nigerian Civil War forever,” Okupe said in the letter he
shared on Twitter.
“The fact of Igbo marginalization & political oppression
is self-evident. Political parties will in a few weeks elect their presidential
flagbearers
“It is equitable that once the above stands and power is
conceded to the south, the next president must come from the South East
“In the South, only the southeast is yet to produce a
civilian president. Fellow Nigerians, let us come together as a fair and just
nation that we are.
“Let us concession the presidency to the Southeast in 2023
and decisively end the Nigerian Civil War forever.”
