The South-South Elders’ Forum has declared that the 2023 presidency should be ceded to the zone to avert the crisis.
The Elders said giving 2023 presidency to the north will tear Nigeria apart, as the expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure completes North’s two tenures.
Sara Igbe, the National Publicity Secretary of Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, said South-South has used just one tenure, adding that it is only fair to allow the zone to produce the next president for another four years to complete the zone’s second tenure.
Speaking to Vanguard, he claimed that South-East was agitating for Biafra Republic and not the 2023 Presidency.
Igbe said: “The race for the presidency has started and it is a clear fact that there is an unconventional agreement that the presidency should go to north and south.
“Currently, the presidency is in the north and they have completed their two tenures. It implies that the presidency will come back to the south. In the south, we have three zones — South-West, South-South and South-East.
“The South-West has had their complete tenure through President Olusegun Obasanjo, South-South had had one tenure through President Goodluck Jonathan and South-East has not gotten it in the new dispensation.
“But if you are talking about the whole of Nigeria, the north has ruled for over 40 years, South-West ruled for almost 12 years, the South-East has ruled for six months and the South-South has ruled for one tenure of four years.
And so obviously, it is right for the South-South to complete their two tenures, thereafter, in the south, South-East will have a clinch of it.
