Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, a former Minister for Science and Technology, has questioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) over its failure to zone the 2023 presidency to the South-East.
He further stated that South-East has produced neither President nor Vice President. He therefore called on the party members to be just and fair.
Onu said this on Tuesday June 7, while he was delivering his speech to delegate before the commencement of voting at the Eagles Square.
“where is the justice,” He asked,
Onu noted that he sacrificed his presidential ambition in the past just so that two candidates from the South West could run.
“What is very, very important, exceptionally important, is that we must ensure that justice is upheld,” he added
“Naturally, it should be somebody from the South East that will replace (Buhari), and that will give the opposite South versus North and Christian versus Muslim a balance, and it will bring stability to the nation; it will strengthen Nigeria.
“The South West had eight years as president, eight years as vice president; the South South had eight years as president and vice president; where is the justice? Where is the justice?”
“I held the presidential ticket for one of the three parties then, but I had to let it go in order to solve a problem with the South West, to make sure that two Olus contested for the presidency, that head or tail, one will become the president and that brought down tension within the country.
“This is what would have happened if we allowed the South East at this time,” he said
