A former Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance,
APGA, Victor Umeh, has insisted that it is an injustice for the South-East
region of the country not to produce Nigeria’s President in 2023.
Umeh said this during an interview with Channels
Television’s Politics Today, on Monday.
As President Muhammadu Buhari, who hails from Katsina State,
completes his two-term constitutional tenure by 2023, there have been demands
by the southern governors for the presidency to be zoned to the region.
Precisely, most easterners want the South-East region to
produce President Buhari’s successor in 2023.
“It is an injustice,” Umeh said.
“South-East has never produced a President for Nigeria.
“Nobody from the South-East has been President, it is the
turn of the South to produce a President now.
“The way we have shared power over the years, you will see
that the South-West has produced a president through Obasanjo democratically
for eight years, now they have the vice president standing out for eight years
with Buhari, then the South-South has produced President through Jonathan who
has been there for nearly six years,” he added.
