We Don’t Need APC to Actualise Our Presidential Ambition in 2023, Igbo Group Replies Ngige
POLITICS DIGEST – An Igbo socio-political group, Ndi-Igbo United Forum (NUF) has berated the Minister of Labour and Employment Senator Chris Ngige’s over his position on achieving the Igbo presidency in 2023.
The Minister has recently opined that the only way the Southeast states could show their readiness for the nation’s presidency is by joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) en masse.

The President General of NUF, Chief Godson Ezenagu, in a statement in Awka, Anambra State capital, described Ngige’s assertion as untrue.
He said the Igbo do not need to join APC to produce the president of the country, rather total mobilisation of people across zones.
“All political parties should zone their presidential tickets to the South East in the principle of equity, natural justice and good conscience. Zoning to the zone will kill every agitation in the South East,” he said.
There has been increase in agitation recently on which region should produce the next president in 2023, when President Muhammadu Buhari must have completed his tenure.
