As the race for the next president of Nigeria continues, there are growing concern and interest on who should succeed President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023 as regards zoning.
However, for former Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Senator Victor Umeh, it is time for the South-East region to produce the next president.
Citing his reasons, Umeh said; “South-East has never produced a President for Nigeria.”
“It is an injustice for the South-East region of the country not to produce Nigeria’s President in 2023.”
“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.”
