NPP Woos APC, PDP to Support Igbo President

Following clamourings for an Igbo president in 2023, a political pressure group, the Nigeria Presidential Project (NPP), says that it has started mobilising political parties to support the project.

Speaking in Owerri, the National Publicity Secretary of the group, Tony Nwachukwu, said they have written to the ruling All Progressive Congress, and urged the PDP to restructure their operational system.

‘You can’t be talking of zoning presidency to the south when a southerner Is the chairman of a political party. For instance, PDP should restructure their operational system, maybe zone their national chairman to the North and thereafter distribute their position the way it should be. If they don’t do that, maybe a northern presidential candidate will run on their platform.

‘When we pressure political parties to zone their presidential candidates to the South-East, what we are doing is that we are positioning Ndigbo to test run their ballot power in 2023,’ he said.
