The 2023 presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party has three major contenders: former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.
According to a report by Daily Independent, a former senator and member of the party’s Board of Trustees, said, with the time restraint to the election and the timetable announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, it will be difficult for a new entrant to join the presidential race.
May I begin by thanking the organizers of this crucial national forum, which aims to continue the search for a common ground and understanding of the great need for having an Igbo man or woman as Nigeria’s President in 2023. A certain philosopher by name, Victor Hugo once said that you can stop every other thing, but you cannot stop an idea whose time has come.

I also wish to commend PAN NIGERIA PRESIDENCY OF IGBO EXTRACTION COALITION (PANPIEC) for being one of the major organizations in the forefront of this epic struggle to inaugurate an Igbo as the Nigerian President to succeed His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. Your consistency and surefootedness have helped in no small measure in providing both leadership and direction for this make-or-mar struggle.

The moves to getting President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor in 2023 have commenced as both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have started shopping for presidential materials.
The PDP which has a strong zoning principle as provided in its constitution has resisted going into extinction despite all the odds stirring the nation’s political waters.
The opposition party is hit by a gale of defection of its key actors who determine where the pendulum swings. This is sequel to the APC’s resolve to whittle down its structures ahead of the 2023 polls.
But the PDP is still swimming in the nation’s murky waters with a view to zoning its offices and reclaiming power in the next general election.
