Onetime presidential aspirant and a Zikist, Chief Charles
Udeogaranya, has advised Nigerian politicians, particularly members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), of the
impending danger of denying the people of the South-East zone, the opportunity
of producing the next president of Nigeria.
In a release, Udeogaranya pointed out that “most Nigerians
are in agreement that the South-East zone should produce the next president of
Nigeria, but the consequence of its denial is frightening even more because it
will create a conducive ground for the last remnant of NDIGBO with unalloyed
loyalty to Nigeria, to reconsider and question their loyalty to a nation
without a right to preside over her affairs as profoundly established in the
last 50 years. Such dejected feeling by a sizeable population of a country towards
her nation could prove fatal and portends greater danger to the labours of our
nationalists, pre-independence to date in building and crystalizing a common
nationality out of Nigeria.”
Udeogaranya reminded politicians how critical their
decisions can be on the masses with the Ukraine crisis as a case study. He
maintained that a better and progressive Nigeria without violence is what all
Nigerians desire, a nation where we all can live in peace and make progress, by
treating all her citizens fairly with equal rights and justice.
The politician concluded that most Nigerians have agreed
that the South-East zone should produce the next president. APC and PDP should
treat it as a full optimization of democracy and follow suit with zoning.
