Nigerian Tribune reports that the groups said any attempt to deny southeast the opportunity to produce Igbo presidency in the next presidential election would strengthen Biafra agitation and realization of its dream in 2023. READ ALSO: How AD govs, Afenifere saved Obasanjo from being impeached in 2002 - Osoba reveals Legit.ng gathered that the group made the call in a statement signed by Abiye Dogulas, the national president of coalition of Niger Delta youth leaders forum, Comrade Obinna Achionye, the deputy president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo youth council worldwide and the secretary general Ohanaeze Ndigbo youth council worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike and made available to newsmen in Abakaliki. The group which insisted that power must rotate between north and south, called on southwest, Middle Belt youths to cue into the project, stressing that south east zone remains the only zone yet to get the presidency in the southern Nigeria . They, however, urged the two zones to honour power rotation agreement in the country and jettison their interests to contest 2023 presidential election in the interest of justice, equity and unity. “We are overwhelmed with large delegation of over 150 youths from different states of Niger Delta to press on the legitimate demand for south east to produce the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria in 2023 as a new dimension towards ensuring that Nigeria remains as one entity beyond 2023, and we have eminently qualified personalities both in APC and PDP to actualised the dream of producing Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction.

“The north should honour the gentleman agreement that has existed since 1999 of power rotation between north and south, that it’s the turn to south east to produce the next President 2023, and we urge the northern elders forum to desist from any political agitation that will make Biafra a success by 2025 without another civil war, and Niger Delta will be on the side of Biafrans if Igbo presidency project 2023 is denied,” the statement read. The groups also warned against further harassment and humiliation of Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of former president Goodluck Jonathan by the EFCC. They, however, urged the former First Lady to appeal on the current judgement of the Lagos high court as they described the judgment “a miscarriage of justice.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that ahead of 2023 presidential election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the southeast started making efforts to ensure the party give its ticket to the zone.

It was reported that the party said it would harmonize views and build bridges of unity that would sell the southeast to the rest of Nigeria.
