Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, former Minister of State for Education, says the north would support the bid for a south-east presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) if the south-west hopefuls quit the race.<\/p>\n

Nwajiuba, who is one of the presidential hopefuls of the ruling party, said in the interest of national justice and fairness, the south-east should produce the next president of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Recall that the likes of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, former Lagos governor; and Kayode Fayemi, Governor of Ekiti State, are among the south-west politicians in the race for the ticket of the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Nwajiuba told ThisDay that \u201caspirants from the north\u201d would be willing to \u201crest their ambitions\u201d if their counterparts from the southwest tow the same path.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are three people from the north who purchased the APC presidential forms. The president of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan; the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello; and the Governor of Jigawa State, Abubakar Mohammed Badaru.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all have the right credentials to be Nigeria\u2019s president. They are men of foresight. They are from the northeast, north-central and northwest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are possibly in the contest to make a statement, but if we are talking about national justice and fairness, we should only be thinking of the south-east. This is because it is the only zone in the south that had not produced a president since 1999.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is expected to hold on May 29 and 30.<\/p>\n
