Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma has called on Nigerians to vote for a credible presidential candidate in 2023.
Uzodinma stated this while speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the first plenary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigerian in Abuja on Sunday, urged Nigerians to vote for credible presidential candidates based on merit and not zoning.
According to him: “Of course, it will be a good idea to zone the Presidency to the Southeast, but in the best of my interest, the process is what we should be looking at. Actually, in the books of our democracy (1999 Constitution), tribe or place of origin is not a factor.
“So, all I say in my good conscience and moral instinct is that Nigerians should vote in a representative manner where everyone will have a feel of what the Presidency is in reality, but beyond that and very importantly, is the need for merit and competence.
