Goodluck Jonathan, the first person from the South-south to be elected president of Nigeria, was unable to win a second term in 2015.

Nigeria’s president in 2023 must come from the South-south zone in order to “balance the political equation” of the country, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has said.

“We voted for President Buhari again and he had a second term, so South-south must produce the next President of Nigeria,” he said, adding that the PDP must strive to produce the president in 2023. The deputy governor described Mr Orbih as an astute politician, and said the South-south zone would not be left behind at the national level, with his leadership in the zone.

“That is why we have you. You have a great task ahead of you. You will not only drive it, but we will support you to the benefit of all of us,” Mr Shaibu told Mr Orbih whom he said fought hard to turn around the fortunes of PDP from being the opposition to the ruling party in Edo. Mr Orbih, in his remark, pledged to reposition PDP and make the party stronger ahead of the 2023 general elections.Related

One thing about MKO Abiola: he was doing the groundwork all over Nigeria before he made the presidential bid that led to his June 12th 1993 victory without zoning and despite the Muslim-Muslim ticket. Let us know those in the zones under discussion who are planting similar seeds.

That's the spirit.
