Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, has backed the Candidature of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar saying that after his tenure, if he wins the 2023 Election, Nigeria’s presidency will rotate to the South-East.
The former Imo State Governor made this statement in a video, making the rounds on social media, that there are only two parties in the forthcoming 2023 elections, the PDP and the All Progressives Congress.
He noted that Nigeria cannot afford to make mistakes in the 2023 election.
He said, “Let me tell you, after Atiku Abubakar, the next President of Nigeria will come from the South-East of Nigeria. That is the gospel. You must win in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Gombe, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa etc. to become the President of Nigeria.
“There is what we call passion and there’s what we call emotion. They are two different things for people who went to school like me. Emotions don’t win elections. You must be realistic to win elections.
“You must plan to win election and that is where I belong. I want to tell you, I have the key to the direction of where Igbo should go.”
