Attempts by the All Progressives Congress, APC; Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; and other political parties to zone presidential tickets to other regions would result in the declaration of Biafra, according to the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, the apex socio-political youth group in the South-East geopolitical zone.

According to a statement released on Thursday by COSEYL President General Goodluck Ibem, the two major political parties have agreed to zone tickets to the north.

According to the alliance, regions in the south have equal rights to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

According to the coalition, “it is unconstitutional, a treasonable offence and a defiant suspension of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for anyone to throw away the rotation of the office of the President between the North and South as encapsulated in the federal character principle in the Nigerian constitution.

“When a particular section of the country is excluded from governance and other political positions, it means automatically that they have been told in plain language that they are no longer part of the country which is invariably a declaration of another country in a country.

“We want our brothers from the North to know that the South is not begging for the position of the President of Nigeria, but it is our constitutional right to produce the Nigerian president come 2023.
