All Progressives Congress Presidential aspirants from the
South-East have written a letter to the President, Muhammadu Buhari, to allow
the South-East produce the next presidential candidate of the party.
In a copy of the letter obtained by our correspondent on

“proper guidance”.
The letter was signed by Ikeobasi Mokelu, former ministers
of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu; state for Education,
Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, and Mrs. Ken
Uju-Ohanenye.
Senator Rochas Okorocha was listed among signatories but
didn’t append his signature.
