2023: Why Buhari supporters are angry with Fashola

The Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) South East Geopolitical Zone, has said that come 2023 would be the turn of the South-East Geopolitical Zone of the country to produce the next President of Igbo extraction.

The caucus of the BSO South-East met in Enugu Sunday after exhaustive and detailed analysis of the zoning and rotation of president convention from Southern Belt to Northern Belt in 1999 to date; came to the inevitable conclusion that it is the turn of the South-East to produce President.

In a communique signed by Hon. Stanley Ohajuruka, SE Coordinator; and Barrister Godwin Onwusi, Ag Secretary respectively, BSO stated that the proclamation is hinged on the truism that the rotation convention was introduced in 1999 for equity, justice, peace and unity of our dear country.

According to the organisation, the rotation convention is meant to erase the fears of marginalisation of any ethnic nationality, hence implant sense of belonging to all Nigerians.

“We are also witnesses on how His Excellency, Dr Alex Ekwueme of blessed memory was shoved aside from a party he co-founded, in order to appease the South West, and His Excellency Ogbonnaya Onu was also in the same manner shoved aside, hence the commencement of the rotation of president from the South West in 1999,” the group said.

Continuing, it said in spite the shoddy manner Ekwueme was treated at the Jos Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Convention and Onu at the defunct All Peoples Party (APP) Convention at Kaduna, Ndigbo still went ahead to vote along the agreed rotation convention.

The communiqué reads in part: “It is as well worthy to note that in spite of unintended consequences, the zoning convention train progressively moved North in 2007, South-South in 2010 and North in 2015.

“Taking into consideration that our brothers and sisters of the South-West and South-South are primary beneficiaries of the zoning convention – 8 & 5 plus years respectively; it behoves on all patriots and people of good conscience to accord the South-East our due.

“The true position is that since our return to civil rule in 1999, the South East is the only geopolitical zone in the Southern Belt that had not tasted the juicy and cosy ambience of Aso Rock Villa. We are patiently waiting for 2023 for South East to occupy Aso Rock.

“Without being immodest anything contrary will regrettably reinforce the view of those who do not cherish the uncommon stride of Nigeria as a giant of Africa. And most importantly will unwittingly reinforce the views of those who both overtly and covertly preach a disintegrated Nigeria.

“By the same token, we would want to remind His Excellency Babatunde Fashola that President Muhammadu Buhari’s edifying beads are brand collectively woven by all of us. Accordingly, we shall mobilise Ndigbo both at home and abroad, in a Bi-Partisan manner to vote for Buhari in 2019. For Buhari’s victory is the surest route to our quest for President in 2023.”
