Some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), under the aegis of North Central APC Forum, have insisted on the emergence of the next Nigeria president from the region.
The forum said the North Central will not compromise the 2023 presidency for any other position.
Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, who spoke on behalf of the group in Jos, the Plateau State while addressing newsmen on Wednesday, said: “We are much engaged in initiating political activities that would benefit the region, and that they will not back down on their decision for the emergence of the next president from the region.
“As loyal APC leaders/members, we have been working for the success of the party in one way or the order, and whatever we do, we always have the success of the party at heart.”
He added: “And so for us, our aim is for the 2023 presidency to be zoned to the North Central. This is because apart from the military era, since the democratic dispensation, the region hasn’t actually produced either the president or the vice president, but has largely contributed to the democratic growth of the nation. It would be fair and equitable, therefore, for the presidency to be zoned to the region,”
