The Apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned politicians against violating the gentlemanly pact on rotating Nigeria's presidency between North and South, insisting Igbo should succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. It urged the North to consider the security implications of retaining power beyond 2023 and concede power to the South in the interest of peace and stability. It also took a swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, saying he should not have sent his foot-soldiers to the Southeast. Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, a presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has assured Nigerians that the nation will be more united if he emerges victorious in the forthcoming presidential election. He said the Southeast is the greatest proponents of a united Nigeria, and that the civil war was not because the Southeast wanted to break Nigeria.
