Former Minister for Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu has questioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) over its failure to zone the 2023 presidency to the Southeast.
Onu asked the question on Tuesday at the Eagles Square while delivering his agenda to party delegates just before the commencement of voting at the presidential primary.
“Where is the justice? I sacrificed my presidential ambition in the past just so that two candidates from the Southwest could run.
“What is very, very important, exceptionally important, is that we must ensure that justice is upheld.
“Naturally, it should be somebody from the Southeast 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?” Dr Onu repeated in anguish.
“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 Southwest, 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,” Onu bitterly explained.
