Group demands zoning of presidential power to southern christian in 2023
All the major political parties in Nigeria have been enjoined to reserve their presidential tickets for competent and experienced Southern Christians in 2023. This position was canvassed by the Nigeria Equity Group (NEG) at a press conference in Abuja yesterday.
The National Convener of the group, Dr. Emeka Nwosu stated that this would guarantee the peace and stability of the nation.
The Group observed that by 2023 when President Buhari, a Northern Muslim, would have completed his tenure, the North would have held presidential power for eight years. It argued that it will be grossly unfair for the North to seek to hold power after Buhari as this may lead to national crises.

In a communique read by its Chairman, Hon. Yakubu Tsala, at the end of a 3-day confab to brainstorm on the way forward for the country, the group said it is out to pursue the cause of justice and fairness in the political system.
“As a condition for peace and progress of the country, the North-East is yet to produce a president, in either civilian or military arrangement. As such, the next president should come from the zone in 2023,” the group said.
Similarly, the Nigeria Equity Group (NEG) yesterday lauded the Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, over his call on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to zone the presidency to the Southern region in 2023.
