SW/SS Plot Against Southeast Presidency:Only North-east Can Feel Our Pains-kalu by Naijadaily: 8:07am On May 21, 2022 |
Kenneth Udeh from Abuja Consequent to the refusal of the South South and South West regions to support the emergence of an Igbo President from the South-East , Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Kalu has identified the North-East as the only geopolitical zone that understands the pains being nursed by the Southeasterners over their diminishing chances of producing the next President of Nigeria in 2023. Ahead of the 2023 polls the South West and the South-South having produced Nigeria's Presidents for 16 and 6 years respectively have continued to receive backlashes over their negation to back Southeast's Presidential bid, a region that has never had a shot at the Presidency since the advent of the fourth republic. Barring his mind on the development, the Senate Chief Whip had said that judging by the multiple Presidential aspirants emanating from both the South-West and South-South regions it is evident that both zones are insensitive to the political plight of their Southeastern brothers. Kalu who is leading an aggressive campaign for the retention of power in the North over the South-South and South West's rejection of power shift to the South-east , said that North-East like the South East share similar fate because both regions have never enjoyed the support of their neighbouring zones to produce Nigeria's Presidents. Speaking in Katsina State, where he joined frontline Presidential aspirant of the All Progressive's Congress, Ahmad Lawan to canvass for the support of party delegates, kalu told journalists that the North East is the only region who empathise with the grievances of the South East for being shut out of the Presidential seat. “The two zones remain the only zones that are yet to produce a president despite having the most capable hands to govern the country,” Kalu argued “I believe in regional zoning and I will continue to repeat it as long as the issue of ‘Equity, Fairness and Justice’ is concerned. My reason is not only because it worked in 1999 when all the parties zoned their presidential tickets to the South West, but because it is the only true definition of fairness and equity. “My clamor for the South East to produce the president after President Muhammadu Buhari was borne out of the enormous clamour and desire for the development and strengthening of our dear nation, kalu said . Reiterating his previous stance the two time former Governor maintained that anything less than SouthEast must be North East, otherwise it is hypocrisy and wickedness. Kalu gave his reasons; the South East has given its full support to the South West and the South-South and when it got to the turn of the South East, the language changed to ‘Power is not given but taken’. “In the absence of this clear non-agreement of the southern brothers to support zoning of the tickets to the South East, I wielded my support to the North East with the hope that justice is closer to the South East,” the lawmaker explained. In his earlier remarks Lawan the Presidential hopeful stated that his aspiration is based on his capacity as a Nigerian who is qualified to be President and not as a northern aspirant as is being peddled in some quarters. “I am not running as a northern aspirant because the impression created is that I’m a northern aspirant or that northerners are saying they are not going to allow power to the South. “I’m not running as a northern candidate. I’m running as a Nigerian Presidential aspirant and therefore I come with all my qualifications for that office and people should judge me on the basis of what I have to offer,” Lawan said in Katsina. https://abacityblog.com/sw-ss-plot-against-southeast-presidency-only-north-east-can-feel-our-pains-orji-kalu/

Many of our brother in South east always on autopilot reasoning. You are already pit your tent with North and start blame SS/SW even when agitation still ongoing instead of standing your ground that it must be South East. Kalu doesn't know that this his action is a sign that South east is read to trade presidency. 2 Likes |

muykem: Besides that, he was in Katsina, a NW state, to ask for support, yet he said only the NE supported the SE It shows he's not politically smart. This's the worst time to make such a statement. He is de-marketing Lawan with that card. 2 Likes |
