2023 Presidential candidate will not be about tribe

Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State has said that the selection of 2023 presidential candidates will not be based on tribe, but on party allegiance.

He said that anyone can run for the presidential ticket on the platform of the APC, as the party does not recognise zoning despite agitation in the South-East zone to produce the president in 2023.

Uzodimma said;

“You know that the position is not vacant now, there is a sitting President and we are practising partisan democracy and not tribal democracy.

So, the emergence of presidential candidate will come on a party by party basis, not a tribe by tribe basis.

But if there are other internal factors that will form part of the considerations for parties taking decision, of course, that will be entirely the job of the leadership of those political parties and I think that is the right thing to do.”
