According to Anaedoonline.ng, a coalition organization known as Equity Movement Turn by Turn has asked that an Igbo man succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s next leader.
For the purpose of justice and equity, the organization believes it is critical that the nation’s Southern area be given a taste of power after a long time.
EMTT stated that if an Igbo man is denied the nation’s top political office by 2023, the South-East will most certainly leave Nigeria.

The organization urged all previous and current Nigerian leaders not to let the country’s future president to flee the region.
If Nigerians cannot trust the Igbo, the organization argues, they should enable them to go in the country’s best interests.
The group’s main objective, according to a statement signed by the group’s national chairman, Hon Gaius Ezeh, the director of the Western Region, Oluwatuase Kolawole; the director of the Eastern Region, Hon Dan Ejianya; and the director of the Northern Region, Ahmed Tukur, is to ensure the unity of Nigeria and its various units by urging political parties to consider zones that have not yet had the opportunity to occupy various relevant positions.
According to EMTT, when an Igbo man has served his term, the top political post in Nigeria might be in the North East or North Central.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the organization also claimed that the goal of having six geopolitical zones in Nigeria was to ensure that the office of Nigeria’s President rotated among the country’s six geopolitical zones.
It was noted that the zoning system was pioneered by late Dr Alex Ekwueme, the former Vice President of Nigeria, in a national convention to guarantee that no part of the country was left out.
“All registered political parties enshrined the zoning system in their party constitutions and began sharing political posts in the spirit of the six regional zoning arrangement,” the EMTT statement continued.
“It appears that our politicians have begun a winner-take-all game, with certain zones being completely excluded from the process of electing the President of Nigeria.
“It was in this spirit that Equity Movement Turn by Turn came on board as a pressure group to remind politicians that Nigeria belongs to all of us, and that in order for Nigeria to have peace and unity, the principles of equity, justice, and fairness must be observed by ensuring that political offices rotate, first among the six geopolitical zones,” the group insisted.
