The APC chieftain, who also argued that the number one seat in the country should be zoned to the South, urged his party leaders to ensure its presidential ticket is handed over to a capable and credible candidate in the Southern region.

According to him, such development would give every Nigerian “a sense of belonging”, stressing that the Southern Governors should stop “ganging up” to demand presidency in 2023.
