BEVERLY HILLS, March 22, (THEWILL) – The convener, New Nigeria Group (NNG), Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa has listed what he described as the four major challenges to the development and rapid transformation of the country just as he proffered solutions for them.
Ohuabunwa stated this when he hosted the South East for President 2023 which has mounted pressure on him to run for the presidency in 2023 at his country home, Arochukwu in Arochukwu local government area.
He said the challenges are poverty, corruption, injustice, and insecurity, saying addressing them requires a commuted and an unbiased leader, who understands the situation at hand and has the capacity to tackle them.
Appreciating the group for the confidence they reposed in him and for the call, the pharmacist assured them that he will heed the call in the belief that God had apportioned a role for him to play in repositioning the country.
Earlier in his speech, the national coordinator of the group, the Rev Okechukwu Obioha insisted that emergence of the next president of the country in 2023 from the South East geopolitical zone has become a necessity.
“To achieve our goal, we intend working at persuading like minds across the country to support our vision just like we have supported presidential candidates from the other zones in the past to succeed,” he related.
Obiora, who argued that emergence of the president from the zone will amount to justice and equity in the polity, added that sharing of political offices had been existing in the country since it gained independence in 1960.
“We, therefore, want to appeal to the major political party, especially the ruling APC and the PDP to cede their presidential tickets for the election to the zone. We have enough credible candidates for the office,” the minister added.
