3.The Summit extensively discussed the State of Affairs in the country, with focus on the call for Justice, Fairness and Equity, and agreed that Rotatory Presidency in Nigeria will guarantee a sustainable Peace and Unity in Nigeria.

4. Arising from the Summit, the coalition resolved as follows:

i. That the existing power sharing between Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria Should be upheld to build a strong Nigeria devoid of any form of deliberate Marginalization in Nigeria. Therefore, insists on that, hence President of Nigeria is coming to Southern Nigeria in 2023, standing on out tripod slogan of Justice, Fairness and Equity we passionately appeal to Frontline political parties especially APC, PDP and others to cede their Presidential ticket to Southeast.

ii. Noted that When new democracy was ushered into Nigeria, Southwest was earnestly considered which produced Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, and when by subsequent opportunity it returned to Southern Nigeria between 2009 to 2015, South-South had it through President Goodluck Jonathan. As presidency is returning to Southern Nigeria, it is justifiable that Southeast should produce the president of Nigeria in 2023 to encourage political stability and national unity.

iii. Furthermore, Southern Nigeria Ethnic Youth Leaders Assembly challenged Southeast to demonstrate capacity, by given Nigeria the most qualified, credible and competent Presidential Candidate that will heal the political and economic wounds of Nigeria, to achieve a prosperous country with effective economic hub that settles the wave of unemployment ravaging our youths since the past 50 years.

iv. That for the sake of National patriotism and unity, the Assembly calls on all the Pro-Biafra groups especially Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB)/ESN to drop any form of arm struggle and embrace peace and key into the Nigeria President of Southeast extraction as a means to heal all forms of deliberate Marginalization and reintegrate in the meanstream of Nigeria's political project.

v. The Assembly frowned at the deteriorated security situation in Nigeria and called on President Mohammadu Buhari to fashion a best strategic approach to save Nigerians from banditry, Boko Haram, ISWAP insurgency, Kidnapping and all kinds of criminal gangsters terrorizing the country. And this can only be achieved by establishing a community based Security Network that would compliment the effort of security agents.

vi. The Assembly advised that the presidential aspirants from Northern Nigeria like Atiku Abubakar, Aminu Tambuwal, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Bala Mohammed, Bukola Saraki etc, to shun their presidential ambition and respect the unwritten Charter of Equity on rotatory presidency as a means to allow fairness, equity and justice prevail among the six Geo-political Zones in Nigeria. This would provide as a lasting solution to the extant quagmire in the nation.

vii. The Assembly emphasizes that Southern Nigeria youths should come out en masse for voters registration, and be ready for ballot revolution that will project merit in 2023 general election to all elective positions in Southern Nigeria.

viii. Meanwhile, we reaffirm our commitment to the unity of Nigeria, characterized under the watch of Equity, Fairness, Justice that will accommodate the six Geo-political Zones in power sharing.

IX. The Summit was held under a democratic and condusive atmosphere with a collective interest of how Southern Nigerian people will survive politically and economically by assisting one another in the three Geo-political Zones

Nigerian youths should keep ethnic sentiments aside and support these southern youth leaders opinion. The country is badly ruined and needs to be rejuvenated and brought back to live both economically, socially, morally and otherwise. Lets support these youth leaders an go for an eastern president.

I believe peter Obi can do a great job, he is fearless, upright and nice with good business sense.

Another man from the east than can do well is orji ozu Kalu.

Nigerian celebrities should also be wise, they should not put their stomach first in place of peoples future by suppprting the not so good politicians all because of money. If you no eat their money, you no go die. Let's do the right thing if we really care about changing the economy for good.

Attach a link to the post to make it credible.

Attach the link to the news house that reported it.

Until then, it can be fake news.

Meanwhile, if such meeting truly held, then there’s hope for Nigeria.

The youths are beginning to look beyond the divide and conquer politics of the elites to take their future in their hands.

Peter Obi presidency is very much in sight.

Which of the Southern Youth ?

By d way, who will vote for Peter Obi from North and SW ?

Dead before arrival
