Elder statesman and member, Board
of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu
has said time has come for South east to rule Nigeria.
Iwuanyanwu, on Sunday, speaking
to newsmen in his hometown, Oguta, Imo state, said nothing would stop a
president of Igbo extraction from emerging in Nigeria in 2023.
The elder statesman lamented that
the North has ruled Nigerians for too long hence 2023 is a time for South East
region to produce a President.
According to him, South East must
produce the president in the “interest of equity and fairness.”
He said: “The northern part of
Nigeria has ruled the country more than the South. Presently, power is still in
the North. In 2023, being eight straight years of the North holding unto power
again, under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, it is expected
that power will shift to the South.
“When you come to the South, the
South West and South South part of the country have both produced presidents.
“It is, therefore, the turn of
the South East to produce the president of this country come 2023 in the
interest of equity and fairness.
“These are among other things
Senator Nzeribe fought for in his active days in the Senate, and the time has
come for its realization. This is non-negotiable.”
