Pro-Biafra Protests A Threat to Igbo Presidency in 2023 – APC

The South-Eastern All Progressives Congress (APC) Leadership Caucus, has condemned the current demand for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra.It therefore issued a warning that the action might result into frustrating the chances of Igbos producing the next president come 2023.The Leadership Caucus in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Osita Okechukwu, insisted that the Federal Government, led by President Muhammadu Buhari would hand over reign of government to the South after he must have finished his second term in office.According to Okechukwu, “Going by the zoning convention, equity and natural justice, surely the Presidency will rotate to the South in 2023.“And when the Presidency rotates to the South in 2023, we (Igbos) have all the cards stacked in our favour to appeal to our brothers in the South-West, who have occupied the office for eight years, and our South-South brothers, who had five years plus in the Presidency.“Every rational indicator favours the Ndigbo, and so we need to drop our hate propaganda and wait patiently to harvest the turn of the South-East.“To be frank, this is the golden opportunity for us to join the mainstream, and it should not be scuttled by pro-Biafra agitators.“Therefore, instead of agitating for Biafra, the Ndigbo should think out of the box and support Buhari to actualise this noble objective.“The gross unemployment is nationwide and would be addressed holistically; luckily, our son, the distinguished Senator Chris Ngige, is the minister in charge of employment.“We appeal to the pro-Biafra agitators to stop their mass action and drums of war in the overall interest of the Ndigbo at home, across the country and abroad; as our record shows that it is better to jaw-jaw than to war-war ”” dialogue is the best solution.”
