Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has said that the South East geo-political zone is ready to produce the president of Nigeria in the 2023 general elections.
He therefore urged the mainstream political parties to zone the presidential ticket to the South East.
Uzodimma, according to a statement, yesterday, by his Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment, Eze Ugochukwu, stressed that it was within the purview of political parties to field and present candidates with required leadership capacity to rule Nigeria if elected.
He said: “Every political party is rooting for candidates with capacity to win elections.
“In the South East, we are ready to produce the President of Nigeria.
“There is a national sympathy for the South East to produce the President. What will make it work is for the two leading political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), to pick candidates from the South East geopolitical zone.
“Let the PDP and APC produce Southeasterners as their presidential candidates. With this, we would have centralised this power-sharing in a manner that it becomes all-inclusive, and where justice and equity would have been seen to be done.”
