The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former vice President Atiku Abubakar, has been lambasted for pledging to cede the presidency to the zone in 2027.
It was reported that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and other prominent leaders from Southeast have advised Nigerians not to take his words seriously.
Ohanaeze said no person from Southeast or Igbo would take the advice of the former vice-president serious.
The Southeast leaders were reacting to Atiku’s statement during a rally in Enugu where he was quoted to have said that he would support Ndigbo to win the Presidency in 2027 in return for the region’s votes for him in 2023.
