South East Presidency: It’s Time To Show Interest – APC Group Urges Igbo Aspirants
Credible 2023 presidential aspirants of South East extraction on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform have been urged to indicate interest in contesting for the Nigerian presidency.
The National Coordinator of South-East APC Presidency Project 2023, Dr Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu who made the call in a statement on Sunday.
He noted that “one sure thing is that power is not given to anyone but is taken by someone.
“A second sure thing is that South East Nigeria has thousands of credible and capable individuals for Presidency of Nigeria.
“A third sure thing is that conceding 2023 Nigerian Presidency to the South East would not be doing the region any favours.
“Both APC and Nigeria need President of South-East extraction for their unity, growth and sustainability”, the National Coordinator of South-East APC Presidency Project 2023.
Dr Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu added, “However, presidential aspirants of South-East extraction on APC platform in 2023 must now indicate interest in contesting for the office on APC platform.
“Contesting for Nigeria’s Presidency is not for the faint-hearted nor is it for the reticent or ambivalent. In respect of presidential aspiration by South-Easterners on APC platform, it also requires individuals who must submit themselves to scrutiny by South-East APC members before the best of them would be presented to both APC and general Nigerian electorate for them to vote for South-East’s considered choice of presidential candidate.
“Any South-East APC person who thinks that he/she could win APC presidential ticket or win Nigeria’s presidential election without first getting majority of South-East APC endorsement, must be naive. Such wayward thinking belongs in the past, it never worked and it will never work for any South-Easterner.
“This is the time for 2023 presidential aspirants of South-East extraction on APC platform to let South-East APC members – through South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 – to know that they are seriously interested in contesting for Nigeria’s Presidency on APC platform in 2023.
“Delay in expressing serious interest in the 2023 Presidency is dangerous”, he cautioned.
