Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Chief Audu Ogbeh, has urged the South-East leaders and stakeholders to lobby if they want to produce the nation's next President in 2023.
The former Agriculture Minister said the South-East would not get the presidency if they resort to threats and blackmail.
Speaking to reporters in Kaduna, the ACF Chairman suggested that political parties should also be left with the zoning of the presidency.
Chief Ogbeh noted that the management of political parties had become low, pointing out that parties should be responsible for zoning the presidency.
He admonished the Igbos that democracy encourages political power-seekers to be friendly and reach out widely to stakeholders across the country in order to win their respective support.
