Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has said President Muhammadu’s body language favours Southerner to emerge as his successor come 2023.
Umahi, who stated this on Tuesday in Owerri, the Imo capital, told Nigerians not to be apprehensive of an individual from the South-East becoming Nigeria leader.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant advised them to shun the calls for secession because Igbos have property and investments everywhere.
According to him: “So when people tell you about Biafra, it is not about seceding at all”, NAN quoted him saying.
He added that “the Igbo man will do better under a united Nigeria”.
The governor also appealed to the South-South and the South-West to support the South-East to produce the next President.
