North Central Wants Presidency In 2023

The North Central Patriot (NCP) has countered the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) over zoning of presidency to South, insisting that the zone will not settle for less, but for the main position of presidency

SMBLF had on Sunday said that the North had had its share of eight years in the presidency and should yield to the South.

SMBLF in its communique signed by Chief Edwin Clark, Chief Ayo Adebanjo – Leader, Afenifere, Amb. Prof George Obiozor – President General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Dr Pogu Bitrus – National President, Middle Belt Forum and Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien, National Chairman PANDEF, noted that “the Northern part of the country would have fully enjoyed the Office of the Presidency, for the full statutory period of 8 years by 2023, hence, should yield to the South.”

The Forum “calls on the APC and PDP and other political parties to zone the Presidency, in 2023 to the South; at the next election.”
