The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has reminded the Southern Governors Forum to ensure that 2023 presidency is giving to the South-East in the interest of fair play and justice.
Spokesman for the Ohanaeze, Alex Ogbonnia, who said the group backed the southern governors’ position that the region should produce the president in 2023, said the region must be magnanimous in conceding the presidency to South-East.
The governors had met on Monday in Ikeja, Lagos State, to deliberate on the state of the nation. The meeting came eight weeks after their last meeting in May 11, 2021, in Asaba, Delta State, where they banned open grazing and advocated restructuring, among others.
On Monday, the governors declared support for rotational presidency, saying the next president should come from the South. Rising from the meeting, chairman of Southern Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, read the communiqué agreed to by member states.
He said, “The forum reaffirms its commitment to the unity of Nigeria on the pillars of equity, fairness, justice, progress and peaceful coexistence between and amongst its people.
