A former governor of old Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, said on Monday people of the South East geo-political zone would go on their knees to beg other zones, if it became the condition for the region to produce the country\u2019s next president in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ex-governor, who stated this during the launch of Global Movement for President of Igbo extraction in 2023 held in Awka, regretted that South East<\/a> remained the only zone that had not produced the country\u2019s president since the return of democratic rule in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was attended by the former Minister of Aviation, Dr. Kema Chikwe, and 2021 governorship aspirant in Anambra, Chief Goodwin Ezemo, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He appealed to other geopolitical zones to support the South East\u2019s clamour for the presidency in 2023 for fairness, equity, and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cWe are using this medium to call on people like Alhaji Bola Tinubu<\/a> and others from the north nursing the presidential ambition to have a rethink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chairman of the event, Ben Obi, urged the Igbo to unite for the cause, saying power was not given on a platter of gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obi listed four hurdles that the region must cross to achieve the desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He charged the political class from the South East to speak with one voice and persuade political parties to allot the presidential ticket to the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
