A political pressure group under the aegis of the North-Central Renaissance Movement, NCRM, has called for the zoning of the 2027 presidency to the North-Central region of the country.
Chairman of the group, Prof. K’tso Nghargbu, who made the appeal on Saturday in Abuja, urged Nigerians to avoid the habit of low expectations from the country’s leaders.
Nghargbu said the appeal was directed particularly at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the Action Democratic Congress, ADC, and the Social Democratic Party, SDP, among others.
According to him, this was because President Bola Tinubu has the right to seek a second term.
“No amount of party chairmanship positions or other secondary roles will deter us from our demand for the presidency.
“We will no longer accompany other zones as escorts, back benchers, spectators, or political underdogs to the glorious location called Nigeria.
“Being the only geopolitical zone that has never produced a civilian President or Vice-President since independence, the time for North-Central to lead the country is now,” he said.
