Austin Umahi, National Vice Chairman, South East, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has declared that people of the South East stand a better chance to become Nigeria’s president in 2023.
Umahi predicated his declaration on the fact that the former ruling party, has the “depth, and understanding of this country and the politics of Nigeria.”
Speaking with The Sun, the PDP Chieftain said the South East should negotiate with the party on its aspirations for 2023.
According to Umahi, “Well, the truth remains that you can’t negotiate some of these things. It is not a straight jacket thing. It is something that can be done not by war but by jaw jaw.
“In a round table discussion, we can agree on the way forward. And the way forward is all about fairness, equity; it is to recognize a geopolitical zone like the South-east as a major entity of this country.
“The South-east is a formidable entity for that matter. For that, the issue of the PDP comes on board in 2019, whether it will jeopardize the Igbo aspiration for 2023, everything is in the hands of God.
“And I believe that these things we can sit down and negotiate. This is because the PDP is the party that has the depth, and understanding of this country and the politics of Nigeria
“I said that it is something realizable; something we can achieve by coming together with unity of purpose, love and then shun this attitude of pull-him-down-syndrome. It is something achievable and we have all it takes to achieve it.
“But most importantly, we must have to come together because the Bible queried in Amos chapter 3 verse 3: ‘can two work together except they agree?’
“The most important thing is the agreement; and agreement is all about unity and unity is all about love.”
