2023 Polls: Southern/Middle Belt Leaders Demand Zoning, Restructuring

The leader of the group, Chief Edwin Clark stated this on Sunday during a press conference in Abuja, describing the ongoing constitutional amendment exercise by the National Assembly, as fraudulent.

“We want the zoning to continue, it is conventional. When the Constitution did not provide for a succession when Yar’ Adua was ill, the convention was adopted. An expanded Meeting of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum , held on Sunday, 30th May 2021, at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, ABUJA. The Meeting, chaired by Elder statesman, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, OFR, CON, had, in attendance leaders of various socio-cultural organizations as follows: Afenifere, for the South West; Ohanaeze Ndigbo, for the South East; Pan Niger Delta Forum , for the South-South and the Middle Belt Forum , for the Middle Belt.

Insists that it is imperative to immediately restructure the country considering the precarious prevailing atmosphere before any further elections. Enjoins political stakeholders from the South not to be lured into the unpatriotic step of seeking such other positions as National Chairmen and Vice President of the main political parties, but join forces to demand and ensure that the Presidency moves to the South in 2023;

Condemns the cavalier attitude of the federal government towards the resolutions of the Governors of Southern States at their Meeting, held in Asaba, Delta State on 11th May 2021;as it pertains to ban on open grazing and restructuring.

The biggest problem the south should realize is that; their present predicament is caused by their southern political elites who trade their destinies for position power wealth. The Northern oligarchs wouldn’t have succeeded without them as collaborators.
