  The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday said southeast leaders should throw their weight behind actualising Biafra rather than beg northerners to support their presidential ambition.

Ngige, however, said rotating the presidency to the South was a sensitive one considering the issues surrounding it.  The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has joined the quest by the South-East geopolitical zone to produce Nigeria’s president in 2023.

The minister who supported the rotation of presidency to South stated this on Channels TV. “If Nigerians of all shades of opinion in all the political parties agree to send down the presidency in both parties to the South-East, you would have buried the ghosts of the civil war permanently. You would have buried all the separatist agitations permanently; you would have buried all the sins of ‘oh no appointments, these and that’ permanently. Everything will begin to rest,” the minister said. Ngige, however, said rotating the presidency to the Sout...
