The South South Zonal Officer of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) Mr Chux Nwaebuni on Thursday said that the position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should be ceded to the South South Geopolitical zone in 2023, stressing that it would be the only way the party will win the presidency among others
Nweabuni who spoke to Journalists in Asaba averred that all the presidents since 1999 had not given the opportunity for the South South president as expected apart from Dr Goodluck Johnathan who hailed from the South South region but only did a single tenure and warned that failure by the party, PDP to recognize this facts might spell doom where All Progressive Congress ( APC) might continued to rule the country in abysmal failure
Nweabuni stressed that President Muhammadu Buhari with APC failed Nigerians adding that it would be better opportunity for PDP to ensure that South South president was possible saying” President Good luck Johnathan was frustrated through high powered conspiracy thereby shortchanging the South South Geopolitical zone”
He revealed that having Johnathan from the South South preside over the affairs of the country as president under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) was the greatest blessings which most Nigerians never appreciated until they tasted the All Progressive Congress ( APC) version of governance hitherto doomsday
Nwaebuni noted that the South South people were liberal minded adding that the PDP as acceptable party in Nigeria at moment should work harder to get it right for the freedom of Nigerians who had been under siege of terrible learnership
He said”What we see today in the administration is the exact opposite of what democracy is all about.It is such a terrible learnership and situation for Nigerians and it’s time for the South South Geopolitical zone to capture the Presidency come 2023 and ensure we push out the All Progressive Congress ( APC) for us to move forward in Nigeria”
Nwaebuni however called on other Geopolitical zones in the country to join hands in the quest for an elected president from the South South to complete the zone’s second term for equity sake and good dividend of democracy
