Clark noted his passionate \u201cbelief that the presidency of Nigeria in 2023 must go to the Southern part of Nigeria and indeed to South-East zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI encourage you and others to continue the task of persuading and reassuring other Nigerians to share that vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some political stakeholders have been advocating for a Nigerian president of the Southeast extraction.<\/p>\n

The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, VON, Osita Okechukwu, had said the Southeast should be allowed to produce Nigeria\u2019s president because the region would not disappoint.<\/p>\n

Okechukwu assured that an Igbo president would help develop Nigeria because the Southeast is \u201ctalented to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
