There have been calls by South-East members of the APC for the SGF and Senate President positions to be zoned to the region if the party’s presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu emerges winner in 2023.
There have been widespread agitation for a president from the Southeast prior to the presidential primary elections of the APC and opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
However, the aspirants from both parties emerged from the South-West and North-East respectively.
Igbokwe wrote on Facebook, “Leaders of Igbo Nation must collectively and clearly bring their thoughts together to say what we want. We want SSG and SP. We want Biafra too. What do we want as critical stakeholders in Nigeria?”
