A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi state, Chief Chaka Nweze has said that the northern part of Nigeria will perpetually rule the country unless the southern part sees reason, shelve selfish interests and avert political menopause by uniting in supporting a south east presidency.
Nweze, the Pioneer Secretary of the APC in the state made the disclosure in an interview, stating that the south west and the south south zones are so naive and unbending in their inordinate quest for president in 2023.
The Former Executive and subsequently Caretaker Chairman of Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi state, said that both zones were not circumspect of the north ruling the country for only God knows when.
"We wonder why it is dificult for the Tinubu's, Fayemi"s Amechi's among others to collapse their political structures in solidarity for a south east presidency.
"It is only when they do this that the north will have the moral burden not to field any candidate in all the political parties in 2023 and Nigeria will be better for it.
The former Vice Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) Ebonyi state chapter, said that the risk of not doing so, would put the north in perpetual leadership of this country.
"The south east who must have felt betrayed by both other southern zones and with their huge population scattered all over the country, will protest with their votes.
"Quoting the indefatigable Governor of Ebonyi state, Chief Engineer David Umahi, we cannot vote for those who can not vote for us now that it is our turn.
The pragmatic APC Stalwart said that in series of interviews he granted newsmen in the past especially on national tabloids such as New Telegraph newspapers, he had stressed the need for the south east governors to join Umahi in his defection to the APC, to boost the chances of a south east presidency.
"They did not listen but were rather engrossed in their selfish interests.
He however profered solutions on the quagmire before the approaching primaries of various political parties are conducted.
"A committee of all presidential aspirants from the south east irrespective of party affiliations should be convened within seven days.
"This is to individually or collectively meet their colleagues from the south south and south west, and appeal to them to support the south east for presidency.
"They should highlight to these colleagues of theirs from other zones, the danger of doing otherwise.
"The future of the country lies in the hands of all of us and if the south east is denied the presidency now, there will never be justice and equity practiced in any sphere in the country. And I bet you, the south east will not be worst for it.
