Former Presidential aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and a former aide to ex-Presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe has urged major stakeholders between the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress(APC) to ensure the emergence of a South East Presidential Candidacy come 2023.
In a letter he entitled, ‘2023: Igbo presidency as a national imperative’, addressed to APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Iyorchia Ayu of the PDP, Doyin Okupe explained how the death of Moshood Abiola and Sani Abacha led to the issue of zoning in the country.
With the likes of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Bukola Saraki and other northerners battling for the PDP’s presidential ticket, Okupe said it would be unjust for another northerner to climb the seat after President Buhari, insisting that power must come to the South.
In his letter, the former presidential aide argued that in the South, the South East is the only region yet to produce a civilian president for the country.
“Fellow Nigerians, let us come together as a fair and just nation that we are. Let us concession the presidency to the Southeast in 2023 and decisively end the Nigerian Civil War forever,” Okupe said in the letter he shared on Twitter.
“The fact of Igbo marginalization & political oppression is self-evident. Political parties will in a few weeks elect their presidential flagbearers
“It is equitable that once the above stands and power is conceded to the south, the next president must come from the South East
“In the South, only the southeast is yet to produce a civilian president. Fellow Nigerians, let us come together as a fair and just nation that we are.
“Let us concession the presidency to the Southeast in 2023 and decisively end the Nigerian Civil War forever.”
He stated that any consideration outside of this is foul and untrue, “It is just that after President Buhari, power must come to the South, Any argument against this is inimical to the unity and stability of our nation.
Okupe further stated that the next president of the nation must come from the South East because the region is yet to produce a civilian president and if this is made possible, it would go a long way in healing the wounds of the civil war”
