2023: We Can No Longer Pretend About Presidency From The South – Umahi by Dovegrey: 1:32pm On Jul 09, 2021
The chairman of the Southeast
Governors Forum and Governor of
Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi
on Thursday said that Southern
Nigeria can’t pretend any longer
on allowing the zone to produce the President of country come 2023 general election.

The Governor made this known
while addressing the Independent
National Electoral Commission,
INEC, Ebonyi State chapter led by
the Resident Electoral
Commissioner, REC, Dr. Joseph
Chukwu during a courtesy visit
that took place at the old
government house, Abakaliki,
Ebonyi State.

Umahi, represented by his Deputy,
Barr. Eric Kelechi Igwe lamented
that southern Nigeria has been
marginalized, stressing the
importance of allowing the zone
to take over power come 2023
elections.


According to him: “This country,
we don’t need to pretend again.
Whether you like it or not, it
seems there is polarization; this
one South, this one North.

“The north would have done
eight years by 2023 as the
president, is that not correct?
And some of them are saying
that it will be criminal for the
North to continue to be president
of Nigeria after 2023.

“And it is the turn of the South.
And we said as Governors of the
South, that Nigeria, remember
that by 2023 we have it.

“The North has the population
by this registration that recorded
us low and they said it is
unconstitutional and that nobody
should talk about it,” he stated.

Is PDP the “good” party willing to give its ticket to a southerner? Mention one serious PDP member from the south that has a good chance of snatching the party’s ticket from Atiku?

See, it’s time to be realistic. There is no evil or good party. APC and PDP are different sides of the same coin. If APC gives us a southern candidate, we must unite behind the candidate. Whatever our grievances are, we must never allow Atiku or any other northerner win the 2023 presidential election. The North will never relinquish power again if that happens.

Umahi defected to APC because he was promised the VP position, he prefer a northern presidency than a southern presidency because his plans and ambition will die a natural death should presidency move to the south.
