According to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the Southern region is primed to produce Nigeria’s next president.
In this sense, the party has allocated its presidential ticket for 2023 to Nigeria’s southern region.
The ADC stated that its judgment was based on equality and justice in the country’s democratic structure.
Hon. Prince Joe Chukwu, Chairman of all Chairmen and Delta State Chairman of the Party, revealed this immediately after the group’s meeting in Enugu, which was attended by state chairmen from around the country.

He stated that the party has come together “to support the patriotic plea for Political Parties in Nigeria to have its Presidential ticket allocated to the Southerner section of the country.”
“We are also of the strong opinion and conviction that Southern Nigeria deserves the Presidency for the sake of equity and justice in our Nation’s Political system.”
Chukwu, however, said the party has not micro-zoned the position yet to any of the three geo-political zones in the South.
Speaking on the devastating state of the nation, Chukwu said “there is gainsaying the fact that the song on the lips of everyone in Nigeria is ‘insecurity of life and properties, terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and activities of unknown gunmen’.
“The insecurity in the Nation is growing exponentially as each day passes by. The Nation’s state of unrest will completely turn everywhere into the miasma of bloodletting if vital steps are not taken.
“The havoc being wrecked by rebellious individuals is deadly and there is a need for new security tactics to arrest this ugly trend.”

The party urged the government at all levels to rise to this occasion and fulfil their primary duty of safeguarding the lives and properties of the citizens.
On the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, the ADC said “This culture of disruptions of Academic programmes by ASUU strike keep frustrating the ambitions and aspiration of Nigeria Students in the process of acquiring knowledge.
“This latest episode calls for concern and a rethink. This is the 16th strike since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999. Despite the numbers, there is little to show.
“We, therefore, call on the Federal Government to genuinely look into the demand of ASUU and settle the issue because our Tertiary institution is the research centre of our national growth and development.”
