Thus, Nigeria was structured into\u00a0\u00a0six\u00a0\u00a0geopolitical zones; namely, south-south, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/30\/south-east-youths-condemn-aba-hotel-killing-as-wicked-barbaric\/\">south-east<\/a>, south-west, north-west, north-central and the north-east.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was also agreed that political offices would be zoned or distributed among the zones in such a way that every zone will have a sense of belonging. Furthermore, that the presidency will rotate among the zones to promote peace, unity and progress in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the rotation and zoning principle that has been in operation in Nigeria, it is only fair that the presidency be zoned to the south, specifically the south-east of Nigeria. It remains the moral duty of elders to guide the society on the path of truth and honour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NEF knows fully well that in the interest of peace, unity and corporate existence of Nigeria, we the elders must, as a matter of necessity, embrace equity and justice. It is therefore only fair that the south-east of Nigeria should be supported to accede presidential power because what is good for the goose is, mutatis mutandis, good for the gander.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the ongoing shenanigans about zoning in Nigeria is because it is the turn of the south-east to produce a president in Nigeria. This NEF knows. We want to use this medium to salute the likes of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Chief E K Clarke, Dr. Pogu Bitrus and other leaders for their courage to stand by the right side of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ohanaeze Worldwide added that an Igbo presidency has the Midas touch to turn around the Nigerian economy for better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Igbo socio-cultural organisation has stated that the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) is opposing zoning because it is the turn of the south-east to produce the president in 2023.
