2023 Presidency: It’s Injustice for South-East Not to Produce Buhari’s Successor

Victor Umeh, a former Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has stated that it is an injustice for the country’s South-East area to not produce Nigeria’s President in 2023.

Umeh stated this on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

As President Muhammadu Buhari, a Katsina State native, nears the end of his two-term constitutional term in 2023, southern governors have called for the presidency to be allocated to the area.

It had been stated that the governors of the country’s southern states had decided that the area must produce the next President.

To be more specific, the majority of 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.
