Southeast must prepare to produce Buhari's successor in 2023- Egbo
A Doctor of Political science and public administration and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State, Dr. Steve Egbo, has advised the people of the South East geo-political zone to adopt the ruling party and prepare to produce President Muhammadu Buhari's successor in 2023.
This was made known on Saturday at his country home in Eziga Onicha, Onicha local government area of Ebonyi State during a stakeholders’ meeting.
He commended that Buhari's administration for what it has done for the zone in less than two years in office which he alleged to be more than the 16 years of PDP government and would be ready to help the zone realize its age-long dream of producing the nation's number one citizen only if they embrace the party and support the President.
Egbo, who was recently appointed the Executive Director of Administration and Training at the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), stated that the zone has suffered so much politically because of wrong choices and bad leadership.
He said, “The South East have always partnered with the North and that partnership had endured. Looking down the line, the relationship is clear.
"During the first Republic, the NPC formed a coalition with the NCNC, leaving the AG at the opposition desk.
"At the dawn of the second Republic, it was the NPN and the NPP and again the arrangement paid off handsomely.
"The Yorubas play traditional opposition and they are good at it. We do not have the patience, the dexterity and palliative to play that league.
"But this time around, the Yorubas played a fast one and while we are grumbling and quarreling, they are reaping the rewards. Yes, we paid the price for our wrong choice of Jonathan and wrong partnership with
PDP.
"So, it is time to join the main stream, time to reclaim our position and take what belongs to us. So far, APC has done more for the Igbo in less than two years than the PDP did in 16 years. The future of the Igbo nation lies with the APC. If the Igbo could learn to be less boisterous and less vindictive and give the necessary support to President Buhari, you can be sure
that the Igbo will provide Buhari’s successor in 2023. I have no doubt about, but first, we must do the needful. We must begin to play good politics.”
