Victor Umeh, a former Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has said that it is an injustice for the South-East part of Nigeria not to produce Buhari’s successor.
Southern governors have agreed and demand that the next president must come from their region as President Muhammadu Buhari, who hails from Katsina State, completes his two-term constitutional tenure by 2023.
Also many easterners want the South-East region to produce a candidate who will succeed President Buhari because South-East has never produced a President for Nigeria.
Umeh said that almost all the regions in Nigeria have shared power over the years, the South-West has produced a president through Obasanjo democratically for eight years, now they have the vice president standing out for eight years with Buhari, then the South-South has produced President through Jonathan who has been there for nearly six years.
He said that nobody from the South-East has been President, but now is the right time for the South to produce a President.
