PANPIEC HAILS BUHARI AS PRINCE ERONDU UCHE MEETS MIDDLE BELT LEADERS ON 2023 PRESIDENCY.

The Director of Media and Publicity of Pan Nigeria Presidency of Igbo Extraction Coalition (PANPIEC), the umbrella body for all the groups supporting Nigeria President of Igbo extraction in 2023 Prince Erondu Uche has condemned the violence that characterized Kogi and Bayelsa states gubernatorial elections, describing it as a threat to our democracy.

Addressing the Press shortly after a town hall meeting in Makurdi the Benue state capital on Thursday 21st of November 2019 the Spokesman of PANPIEC blamed the youths who he said instead of participating in governance allow themselves to be manipulated by desperate politicians.

On the motive for the town hall meeting, Prince Erondu said he was in Benue state to consult with major stakeholders in the state and Middle Belt at large on the need to support an Igbo to become President in 2023. He urged the people of Middle Belt to support the project for the sake of equity, justice and fairness, noting that it is the turn of Ndigbo to produce the next Nigeria President come 2023. He noted that Southeast and the Middle Belt have cordial relationship hence supporting this move will further strengthen the existing rapport between the duo.

While appreciating the recent two Middle Belt groups who joined and pledged their support and loyalty to PANPIEC during the town hall meeting, he said that PANPIEC is willing and will receive as many groups that wish to be part of the coalition. He also noted that joining the coalition does not disturb the activities of independent groups.

The PANPIEC Spokesman praised President Buhari for his political will to close the nation’s boarder noting that the closure will boost our economy. He also thanked the governor of Benue state Samuel Otorm for maintaining peace between famers and herders in the state.

The town hall meeting was well attended by top politicians from different political parties, traditional rulers, the clergy, women groups, youths and people from all works of life.

Also speaking in a dinner organized for PANPIEC Publicity chief, Comrade Innocent Kingsley N Abraham who spoke for the groups expressed their appreciation and readiness of the whole Middle Belt to support the project. He noted that zoning the presidency to Southeast is long overdue. "Igbo is the symbol of Nigeria unity because in every nuke and cranny of this country you will see Igbos residing peacefully, doing their legitimate businesses and developing their immediate environments" he said. He expressed his personal likeness for Prince Erondu whom he said he had taken as a role model.

Hmmm

This is not a bad idea.
However, as a middlebelter from Plateau state, I would have preferred if this was more or less a sensitization of our people on why we should begin to agitate for secession.

Nigeria is a very unworkable entity.
For a nation to be united and progressive, it must have a core value which is shared by the majority (at least 70%) of it's citizens.
We have no such core value in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the only country in the world which has multiple majority ethnic groups and 50/50 religious division. This doesn't exist anywhere else.

The earlier Nigeria is divided, the better for all of us. Except the core-north of course, who are the biggest leeches and beneficiaries of this retrogressive and unworkable system.
