A chieftain of APC in Abia state, Anyim Chinenye Nyerere has said that the clamour for the South East to produce the next president of Nigeria may not see the light of the day if the appropriate measures are not taken to make this dream a reality.

The former governorship candidate of the party made this known on Thursday in a chat with ABN TV in Abuja.

Nyerere insisted that if the region will go and sit down and wait for the presidency to be served them, the 2023 agenda will be a failed dream.

"If the Igbo will go and relax, waiting for other regions to come and give them the presidency of this country, they should equally forget about it.

"Power is not given but taken. What efforts are we making as South Easterners? I don't want us to get it wrong by looking at it as Igbo presidency. We are talking about Nigerian president of Igbo extraction.

"Let's not look at it as if we are trying to produce a president of five South Eastern states. When we're talking of being the president of Nigeria, then let us wear the Nigerian clothe. We must wear the Nigerian spirit, reach out, present ourselves, let them know that we're serious and not a situation where your brother will be singing a different discordant tone, another person will be in another page.

these are intelligent views... Which of course is rare.

Instead of the Igbo's to fight for 2023 presidency, why not justle for the Vice presidential seat? After-all if you want to climb a ladder, you have to start from somewhere

Or alternatively, let the south-east all put their heads together and form a party and present thier presidential candidate in the general election. Let them vote for themselves

This is a good point from your view, except if PDP are ready to give the presudential ticket to SE, i am very sure that APC will not release the ticket to them, but they can as well lobby for the VP. That will be a good start

And So?
