2023: Any party that fails to zone its Presidential ticket to South won’t get vote from us – Southern, Middle Belt Leaders

January 20, 2022

By Henry Umoru

LEADERS of thought, elder statesmen from four of the six geo-political zones of the country, under the aegis of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum, SMBLF, Thursday said that any party that fails to zone its Presidential ticket to the South will not get votes from the zones.

The Forum lampooned those they tagged “Anti- Zoning Propagonists”, noting that anyone who is opposing the zoning of presidency to the South in 2023 is an enemy of the country.

In a statement on Thursday, the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum (SMBLF), comprising Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Middle Belt Forum and Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF described those persons as unpatriotic and parochial, stressing that they do not only hate the country but barefacedly fanning the embers of dissent and disunity, capable of exacerbating crisis in the country.

The leaders have reiterated their stand that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and other political parties ahead of 2023 Presidential election should zone their Presidential tickets to the South and vowed that any political party that refuses to adhere to the existing zoning and rotation protocol should not count on their support.

According to them, the choice of the South to produce the successor of President Muhammadu Buhari became imperative because the northern part of the country would have fully enjoyed the Office of the Presidency of the country for the full statutory period of 8 years by 2023.

The statement was signed by South South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark as the Chairman of the groups and leader of PANDEF; Chief Ayo Adebanjo for Afenifere as the leader; Professor George Obiozor for Ohanaeze Ndigbo as the President- General and Dr. Pogu Bitrus for Middle Belt Forum as the National President.

We are reading as things unfold

IPOB cannibals will come for their heads. All they want, is to continue to sniff Atiku pants.

Sincerely, those are mostly politicians and Elderstatesmen with little electoral value and what they have in common is only their hatred for APC, PMB, Asiwaju, Fulani and Islam.
It's even safe to assume that they are working for PDP so most folks will see through their political scheming

Sociocultural groups both from North to south are the creation of people who have zero political relevance and are driven by ethno-religious bias and bigotry.
Northern elders forum supported Atiku in similar manner in 2019 and failed.
The consequences of their nonsensical attitude is losing truth from the leaders who eventually win elections.

If the tickets can't be microzone to south east,the it should be open to all to contest,the southwest people can't use us

Ohaneze and the perpetual Atiku asslickers left the group.
